BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY Key accomplishments as Associate Dean • Increased enrollments and revenue: During my six years in this role, Masters’ enrollments have

increased by 55% (to about 570 students) and undergraduate enrollment has increased by 22% (to about 4,330 students). Since fall 2017, additional revenues from new programs and increased enrollment in current programs total about $20 million ($15 million in undergraduate differential-fee revenue and $5 million in new self-supported online masters programs revenue).

• Improved rankings: In AY 2019-‘20, Price academic programs experienced a “quadruple double”—four different programs rose by double digits in seven different rankings: o The undergraduate program rose 12 spots in US News and World Report to #50 and 18 spots

in Poets & Quants to #57. o The full-time MBA rose 18 spots in US News to #58; 15 spots in Bloomberg BusinessWeek to

#64; and 19 spots in Poets & Quants to #64. o Online Masters (non-MBA) Business Programs rose 15 spots in US News to #55. o The Graduate Entrepreneurship Program debuted at #17 in the Princeton Review.

• Record placements: Undergraduate students reported higher starting salaries (currently at a five-year high averaging $54,919, a 3.14% increase from last year) and better overall metrics (75% accepting a job and 13% pursuing graduate education). Fulltime MBA students also reported higher starting salaries (average of $81,114) and higher signing bonuses (average of $9,143) across a more diverse range of industries.

Strategies implemented to increase enrollment • New collaborations leveraging existing learners: I helped initiate, strengthen and/or implement

collaborations with eight of the ten other colleges on the OU Norman campus and three of the six OU Health Sciences colleges in Oklahoma City (OKC).

• New programs reaching new learners: I played key roles in launching two self-supporting programs—the Online Master of Accountancy (top-line revenue of ~$1.28 million p.a.) and Online MS in Finance (top-line revenue of ~$1.28 million p.a.), both of which have exceeded targets. Am currently co-leading the launch of an Executive MBA in Aerospace & Defense with support from 30+ industry partners (expected top-line revenue of ~$2.75 million p.a.).

• Increasing undergraduate admission standards: With unanimous faculty support, admission requirements to the college were increased twice over the past six years. With each increase, enrollment increases have followed and continue (generating additional revenue of ~$5 million since fall 2017).

Strategies implemented to improve student success and rankings • Viewing the undergraduate student experience holistically: I implemented major-specific

advising to address the needs of students in 12 (soon to be 14) majors and 10 minors. I also helped launch the Center for Student Success integrating co-curricular activities and extra-curricular experiences aimed at developing well-rounded graduates with critical thinking, analytical and soft skills.

• Reimagining the masters experience: I played a key role in moving the MBA program from Norman to Oklahoma City; redesigned the fulltime MBA curriculum to include three significant experiential components; and redesigned the professional MBA curriculum to include a leadership academy along with an out-of-state field visit.

• Focusing on inclusive excellence: I advocated and helped create a more inclusive and diverse learning community, including serving as the Interim Director of the Price College’s Office of Diversity & Inclusion.

Leading the MIS Division • Earlier, during my tenure as Director, the MIS program was ranked in the Top 20 undergraduate

programs (four times by US News) and MIS research productivity among the Top 20 worldwide. • I hired and mentored new faculty; supported research activities; and successfully championed

faculty for university and statewide honors. • I helped raise private funds of about $2 million through corporate and individual donations. • The MS in MIT received STEM-certification—the first business program in the College to do so. • As the Executive Director of the Center for MIS Studies, a public-private partnership,

membership grew to its highest level and included 25 businesses and governmental organizations. My research has been published in all three of the top journals in MIS; I have served on 28 dissertation committees at three different universities, including as chair on seven; and, my Google Scholar Citations are 4,361 (leading the MIS Division). I am the founding executive editor of the e-Service Journal, launched in 2001. In 2019, I was inducted by the Association for Information Systems as an AIS Distinguished Member – Cum Laude to the inaugural class. My teaching includes undergraduate, masters, doctoral and executive courses, and over the course of my career at three different universities, I have received nine teaching awards, including those voted on by students.
