Anne P. Massey will be the eighth dean of the Wisconsin School of Business, bringing experience as a highly regarded professor and administrator at Indiana University Bloomington.

Massey has served as Dean’s Research Professor of information systems at Indiana’s Kelley School of Business as well as associate vice president in the Office of the Executive Vice President for University Academic Affairs. Her research focuses on technology-driven innovation processes and strategies, and the role of information technology on team performance.

It’s important for us as a school to engage with alumni to get their insight on what we can do to produce better students, to produce better graduates. I have been amazed at the commitment of Wisconsin School of Business alumni to the university and the School.

Massey is eager to begin work in August, looking forward to building on the School’s strengths to further its mission to prepare Business Badgers to address complex business challenges.

“What attracted me was the real commitment to excellence—from the teaching and student environment, to the research environment, to the engagement with the campus and the community,” she says. “That sets the foundation for everything else that we can do.”
