EMBA Americas Faculty
The quality of your MBA is intrinsically tied to the quality of the faculty who teach in the program. Because the Executive MBA Americas program is a dual-degree program, it brings together award-winning professors from both the Johnson Graduate School of Management and the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University.
Meet the EMBA Americas faculty
Teaching working executives and managers requires a specialized approach that acknowledges and builds upon the skills and experience every participant brings to the table. The Americas faculty team has extensive executive teaching experience, not only in executive MBA programs, but also in the college’s highly acclaimed non-degree executive development programs.
