Apr. 27—The University of Colorado Boulder has announced Vijay Khatri as the Rustandy Endowed Dean of the Leeds School of Business.
Khatri is the executive associate dean for strategy, innovation and technology at Indiana University Bloomington's Kelley School of Business. He will join CU Boulder effective July 1.
Khatri will hold the first named endowed deanship at CU Boulder, supported by a $5 million gift by Tandean Rustandy. The Rustandy Endowed Deanship provides additional resources for the dean to create and execute a vision that continues the school's impressive growth trajectory.
"Dr. Khatri demonstrates a deep and compelling understanding of the critical interrelationship between promoting a strong and welcoming culture and developing strong academic programs," Provost Russell Moore said. "He articulates a vision that is truly consistent with Leeds' focus on ethics and social responsibility."
Khatri succeeds Sharon Matusik, who left CU Boulder last June to become the dean of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
"The Leeds School of Business is known worldwide as a vibrant learning organization for creating impactful research and developing transformational leaders," Khatri said. "I am honored to have the opportunity to stand on the shoulders of the remarkable leaders whose work has made Leeds a leading national school of business and a center of innovation."
