San Diego: Alumni Event with Professor Stephan Meier image

Join fellow Columbia and MBA/SD alumni for an evening of ideas, connection, and collaboration. You will have the opportunity to network with local alumni and hear from visiting CBS Professor Stephan Meier who will share insights from his book The Employee Advantage. There will be complementary hors d'oevres and a cash bar available.

Stephan Meier is the James P. Gorman Professor of Business at Columbia Business School. A behavioral economist by training (PhD, University of Zurich), he previously served as a senior economist at the Boston Fed. His research sits at the intersection of behavioral economics, strategy, and the future of work. In The Employee Advantage (PublicAffairs/Hachette, 2024), Meier argues that firms should apply the same rigor and toolkit used for customer-centricity to their employee experience—and that doing so can boost profitability, innovation, and talent attraction/retention.
