Speaker:
Rich Lyons’s research and teaching expertise centers on international economics and finance. His top applied interest is the “how and why” of setting strong institutional cultures. Lyons is the former dean of Berkeley Haas where he currently holds the William and Janet Cronk Chair in Innovative Leadership. Prior to serving as dean, he was the chief learning officer at Goldman Sachs. He received his B.S. with highest honors from UC Berkeley (business) and Ph.D. from MIT (economics). Before (re)joining Berkeley, Lyons served on the faculty at Columbia University for six years.
