Meet the Program Faculty

Like all Executive Education programs at Harvard University, Intellectual Property and Business Strategy is developed and taught by core faculty from Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School—not adjunct staff or part-time instructors. These faculty members are widely recognized as skilled educators, groundbreaking researchers, and award-winning authors.

Through publishing, consulting, and—most important—teaching, they leverage their business expertise and field-based research to create new knowledge and enduring concepts that shape the practice of management. The result is a teaching team that exposes participants to multiple perspectives, challenging their thinking and encouraging new practices that result in superior business leadership.
