WASHINGTON – The George Washington University School of Business (GWSB) has named Sanjay Rupani as Chief Strategy Officer, responsible for helping to guide the School in its mission to engage the world from the nation’s capital and become a premier institution at the intersection of business and policy.

In this role, Rupani will work with all key stakeholders of the business school, including faculty, students, staff, the GWSB Board of Advisors, alumni and trustees, to identify strategic opportunities and initiatives that will continue to enhance GWSB’s reputation and prepare students to succeed in the global economy.

“Rupani’s work in social entrepreneurship and business, as well as his international experience, is a perfect fit with the School’s emphasis on international business, ethics and sustainability,” said GWSB Dean Doug Guthrie, professor of management and professor of international business. “We are pleased that he has joined our team."

Rupani, who earned his Masters of Business Administration from New York University’s Stern School of Business, most recently served as managing director of Direct Involvement, an organization that educates future leaders about sustainability efforts in developing countries. Rupani has lead strategic initiatives for both the private and public sectors. In addition, he teaches courses on sustainability and social entrepreneurship. Rupani holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Virginia.

“The GW School of Business sits at the crossroads of business and politics in one of the most powerful cities in the world,” Rupani said. “I look forward to working with the entire GW School of Business community to find new and innovative ways for the School to lead the discussion on the future of business education. We will have some very exciting opportunities to announce over the next 18 months.”

GW's School of Business prepares students for professional management careers. The depth and variety of its academic and professional programs, including five specialized master's programs, provide rich opportunities for students in the School's core bachelor of business administration, master of business administration, and doctoral programs. GW's undergraduate- and graduate-level international business programs rank among the world's best.

btw nathan - yeah it's a scary idea that sarah palin can be a presidential candidate - but not sure the current smooth-talking president is doing a particularly great job on the intersection of business and policy either... or on engaging the world.... although someone on capital hill's doing a great job of pushing the USD down and thereby i assume giving a helping hand to american manufacturers...

Challenging mission, "To engage the world from the nation’s capital and become a premier institution at the intersection of business and policy." esp if Sarah Palin becomes prez
