Meet Our People

Thunderbird’s world-renowned professors have extensive hands-on experience in global management, and they’re passionate about sharing their personal insights, proven solutions, and global networks. Where many management school professors teach theory, Thunderbird’s esteemed faculty also teach real-world scenarios drawn from their own experiences. This grounded approach to management education provides students with practical, applicable tools and strategies to succeed in any global business challenge they encounter.

With both physical and virtual centers in over 15 locations worldwide, our staff reflects the diversity of our global institution. Our staff help advance the school's mission by supporting our world-class faculty, our global alumni network, our students, and each other. 

Thunderbird attracts the world's brightest minds—students driven by a passion for diverse cultures, a spirit of adventure, and the agility to thrive in dynamic environments. United by a commitment to equitable and sustainable prosperity, they embody the Thunderbird Mystique: a deep sense of global citizenship and a desire to be part of something greater than themselves.

As alumni, T-birds rise to leadership across industries, nonprofits, and public service worldwide. Thunderbird harnesses their expertise and influence to advance our shared mission, offering lifelong learning and a powerful global network that keeps them at the forefront of change.
