Reflecting on Seven Incredible Years as APD of the MSc in Data Science
Yesterday, we welcomed the ninth cohort of MSDS students at the Asian Institute of Management. It's so surreal that we're here... What's more surreal is that this will be the last time I'll welcome a cohort as Program Director. As I step down after seven amazing years, I reflect on our incredible journey since 2017. From designing a pioneering curriculum presented in prestigious business education gatherings globally to consistently ranking in the top 3 in Far East Asia and training nearly 300 data scientists now leading in their fields, it's been an honor. I'm excited for what the future holds and will share more about my next steps soon.

GNAM Deans and Directors Meeting
At the 2024 AACSB ICAM, joining a distinguished plenary panel alongside Asian Institute of Management President and Dean Jikyeong Kang, Dean Saïd Business School, University of Oxford Soumitra Dutta, C. T. Bauer College of Business (University of Houston) Dean Paul A. Pavlou to discuss AI in business education—whether it’s a threat or an opportunity—brought me back to 2018 ICAM in Hawaii. That year, Balaji Padmanabhan and I urged business schools to reimagine not just their curricula but all aspects of their operations and offerings in light of Data Science and AI (DSAI). At that time, fewer than 20% of top businesses saw AI’s significant impact.
