Leading Forward

A look at the leadership guiding McCombs through a moment of transition — and shaping what comes next

To celebrate the strength of leadership during the transition in deanship at the McCombs School of Business, we invite you to meet the team working closely with the dean to move the school forward. Through a series of short Q&As, McCombs leaders reflect on their roles, the challenges they navigate, and what keeps them energized in their work.

Spanning research, academic programs, alumni engagement, and the student experience, each profile shows  how leadership takes shape in practice. Alongside these insights, we also asked leaders to share their favorite campus gems and go-to Austin spots, bringing a human-centered look at the people behind the leadership team.
