You may have seen Stanford Board of Trustees Chair Jerry Yang’s
announcement last week, and I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to serve as Stanford’s next president.
It has been an extraordinary experience and a joy to lead the GSB. The GSB is an unparalleled institution that combines the highest level of academic excellence with the energy and talent of future leaders who aspire to change the world. All of this is reflected in our alumni community.
I’m exceptionally proud of what the school has accomplished during my tenure. I also know that the GSB is an inherently forward-looking place and am confident and excited for the school’s future. As our cornerstone says, we are “dedicated to the things that haven’t happened yet.”
I will carry many lessons and relationships from my time at the GSB to my new role, and I look forward to continuing to work together on behalf of Stanford.
