The Wharton School is delighted to announce new appointments to the School’s eight Executive Boards.

Wharton’s Executive Boards are an instrumental component of Wharton’s leadership structure. Members connect the School with the wider Wharton and global business communities and inform the ongoing areas of focus and future direction of the School. Their engagement as advocates for the School is particularly important as the More Than Ever campaign turbocharges the people, research, partnerships, education, and spaces that spark and scale great ideas.
