Congratulations to Professor Susan Athey, who has been awarded the R. K. Cho Economics Prize. The prize recognizes her as “a leading voice in economics, shaping both research and policy agendas worldwide.” The award, presented by South Korea’s Yonsei University, is for economics researchers who have contributed to the development of scholarship and education. Inside and outside of academia, Athey has spent her career focusing on complex questions at the crossroads of economics, technology, and social issues. Her recent research has covered everything from machine learning and artificial intelligence to women in technology and markets for vaccines. “I’m very motivated by the need to serve, to help other people be productive,” Athey said in a recent Stanford Business profile. “It’s exhilarating and intoxicating when people have questions they need to know the answers to, and you have the ability to answer them.” stanford.io/3UjxT0N

"The business linkages around the world are really complex today. I wanted to expand my horizons more broadly than the particular industry I’m in and more broadly than the particular business factors that I’m used to dealing with," says Catherine (Cathy) Echeozo, former banking executive. Cathy attended the #StanfordGSBExedEd program Managing Risk and Reputation in a Complex World to better understand how forces beyond the market are affecting businesses today.

"Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching" -  Kirill Korshikov Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to go back to the Stanford University Graduate School of Business campus, to attend an Alumni reunion where I had the chance to re-connect with some of my classmates, re-live our times while at the SEP Program back in '22 and '23, and also... to go back to the classroom! Going back to the classroom is a privilege, and something I deeply enjoy. Moreso when classes are related to pivotal moments in life and in a career, where a Growth Mindset is required to walk into new adventures and challenges, with the confidence that the outcome of them will be a better you. These type of lessons are ones that will always stay with me, for life. Thrilled to have been part of the 2024 reunion, and look forward already for October 2025 to meet again! #GSBExecEd #GSBLife #SEP #Stanford #StanfordGSB Stanford GSB Executive Education

Crises are inevitable. How business leaders respond to them can make or break their organizations. That's the core message of the Executive Education program ‘Managing Risk and Reputation in a Complex World.’ Having taught crisis management for 15 years, Professor Steven Callander emphasizes that it’s not a question of if you’ll encounter a crisis, but when. "Something will go wrong in your organization," he warns. “It’s up to you to prepare yourselves and your organization to handle that crisis when it comes.” Professor Katherine Casey echoes the importance of managing corporate risk, especially when navigating corruption. In her course, she encourages leaders not to shy away from challenging markets. It’s “not being naive about it, but not giving up, either,” she says. "If you can run a clean business in a really tough operating environment, there's potentially a lot of positive externalities.” Both professors push leaders to be proactively, whether it’s preparing for a PR storm or responding confidently when it hits. As Callander puts it, "You have an opportunity to shape how people understand this series of events. And if you don't do it, somebody else is going to do it for you." https://lnkd.in/g9ia97wk
