As the Bulletin went to press, Harvard University President Drew Faust announced that HBS professor Nitin Nohria will succeed Jay Light to become the School’s tenth dean. Current co-chair of the HBS Leadership Initiative and a member of the faculty since 1988, Nohria had previously served as senior associate dean for faculty development and chair of the organizational behavior unit.
“I feel a profound sense of responsibility for continuing Harvard Business School’s proud legacy of groundbreaking ideas and transformational educational experiences,” said Nohria, who received a bachelor of technology degree from the Indian Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from MIT’s Sloan School of Management. “With business education at an inflection point, we must strive to equip future leaders with the competence and character to address emerging global business and social challenges.”
