It is a great privilege to contribute to the continuing achievement and reputation for excellence at WPI. I have developed and delivered courses in Negotiations, Strategy and Policy for Technology Businesses for the School of Business; courses in Project Management, Finance for Non-financial Managers, and Engineering Economics for CPE; and Introduction to Business Fundamentals in conjunction with FPE. The Negotiation and Business Fundamentals courses are available for remote/online delivery.
