The Innovation in Education practice at Spencer Group is delighted to partner with The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to lead the global search for its next Chief Information Officer.
Established in 1881, The Wharton School is the oldest and one of the most preeminent and highly ranked business schools in the world. With campuses in both Philadelphia and San Francisco, Wharton has over 5,000 students, c.240 faculty members, c.900 staff, and over 100,000 alumni worldwide. For more than 135 years, Wharton has been the place where visionaries, inventors, and trailblazers get their start.
Since then, The Wharton School has continued innovating to meet the mounting global demand for new ideas, deeper insights, and transformative leadership. The School remains at the forefront of tech-enabled pedagogy and innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Wharton is heavily investing in a range of technologies, including the Wharton AI & Analytics Initiative, to drastically scale its research and teaching capabilities in the areas of artificial intelligence and data analytics.
Given The Wharton School's ambitions, the School seeks a dynamic CIO who is daring, creative, thoughtful, and capable of harnessing emerging technology and innovative methods, systems, platforms, and processes to drive its academic and research missions forward. Wharton is looking for a world-leading, people-first technology leader who will empower, support, and guide an established, diverse, and talented team of dedicated and entrepreneurial professionals within Wharton Computing, comprising nearly 150 dedicated professionals.
This is an exceptional and compelling opportunity to shape the future of business education and research at Wharton and beyond.
