At the end of this month, Dean Nitin Nohria will close the books on a memorable decade leading Harvard Business School, capping a final year few will soon forget.
A scholar of leadership and organizational change, Nohria, 58, joined the Business School faculty in 1988 and was named its 10th dean in 2010. Since then, he’s steered the School through two economic crises, the Great Recession, and the coronavirus pandemic. As the School’s first Indian American dean, Nohria sought to make the School more inclusive and representative on race and gender and to get M.B.A. students out of the classroom to work on real-world business challenges with the debut of the FIELD curriculum.
