Meet the Executive MBA Faculty
The Executive MBA core curriculum is taught by Darden faculty – the same faculty who teach our Full-Time MBA students. Elective courses are taught by a broader set of instructors including experienced practitioners.
The program is led by Vice Dean and Senior Associate Dean for Professional Degree Programs Yael Grushka Cockayne. Professor Yael Grushka-Cockayne's research and teaching activities focus on data science, forecasting, project management and behavioral decision-making. Read more about Yael on her faculty bio page and get to know her through this podcast interview.
