NYU Stern's New Dean Talks Big Data, Machine Learning, And The Tech MBA

Speaking to Rangarajan Sundaram, who began his tenure as dean of NYU Stern School of Business in January this year, you don't get any sense of the weight that sits on his shoulders. After all, "it's a wonderful time to be leading the most exciting business school in the world," he says. Leading such a revered institution requires constant innovation, as the world around us is challenged to adapt to the rapid way machine learning, big data, and the future of tech are changing the way we learn. The transformation of the NYU Stern MBA reflects this. For Rangarajan, his school, and business schools like it, have a responsibility to ensure the next generation of business leaders aren't just part of the change, but lead it.
