NYU announced that Bharat Anand, a longtime professor at Harvard Business School, will take over as dean of the Stern School of Business in August in a memo last Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anand\u2019s appointment concludes a yearlong international search led by a committee of students, faculty and administrators. In an email to Stern students on Friday, he said his first priority would be to meet with community members to better understand where they see the school\u2019s strengths, deficiencies and potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the center of many initial conversations with faculty and administrators is the pride they take in Stern\u2019s students, whose talent, curiosity and drive fuel the school\u2019s momentum,\u201d Anand wrote. \u201cI\u2019m eager to build on the remarkable foundation already in place and to work together to pursue the aspirations ahead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anand \u2014 who specializes in digital strategy, media and entertainment strategy and corporate strategy \u2014 has worked at Harvard University for 27 years, currently serving as vice provost for advances in learning and a senior business professor. His research has focused heavily on the intersection of technology and business, having created the business school\u2019s first program on <\/span>digital strategies<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the university\u2019s announcement, President Linda Mills said Anand\u2019s experience in university administration gave him a \u201creputation for deftly building common ground and for cultivating partnerships widely.\u201d Mills cited his work creating a task force specifically for the future of higher education in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and said his work in technology helped him innovatively respond to new challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last February, NYU <\/span>announced the promotion<\/span><\/a> of former Stern dean Raghu Sundaram to the university\u2019s senior vice chancellor and head of global strategy. Mor Armony, vice dean of faculty and research, formed a search committee for Sundaram\u2019s successor shortly after, with J.P. Eggers having served as interim dean for the past academic year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe search committee had representation by faculty, administrators and students and was successful in sourcing many qualified candidates and identifying outstanding finalists,\u201d Armony said in an interview with WSN. \u201cBharat Anand was one of those finalists, and I am delighted that he was selected by the president and the provost to be Stern\u2019s next dean.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anand wrote a book in 2016 titled \u201cThe Content Trap: A Strategist\u2019s Guide to Digital Change,\u201d which details ways global businesses can combat obstacles and challenges. NYU said the book was ranked a \u201cTop 10 Book\u201d by Bloomberg and Fast Company, and that it <\/span>was awarded<\/span><\/a> the Axiom Business Book Silver Award for Best Book in \u201cBusiness Theory.\u201d He also helped found Axim Collaborative, a nonprofit education platform that aims to increase access to online courses, during the pandemic in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the last decade, Stern has launched the <\/span>Andre Koo Tech MBA<\/span><\/a>, a one-year program that combines the disciplines of business and STEM. The school also created its <\/span>first online degree program<\/span><\/a>, offering a Master of Science in quantitative management, online certificates in finance and analytics and a part-time MBA. In February, Stern launched its <\/span>one-year MBA program in NYU Abu Dhabi<\/span><\/a> \u2014 the highest-ranked U.S. business school to offer the degree in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m eager to build on the remarkable foundation already in place and to work together to pursue the aspirations ahead,\u201d Anand said in an email shared with the Stern community. \u201cI believe Stern is uniquely positioned to not only adapt but to lead \u2014 by educating responsible leaders and advancing ideas that shape the world.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
