New Kogod School of Business professor Julie Anderson has always wanted to teach at a university. Though her career has given her valuable experience in management and sustainable finance, the notion of returning to higher education remained in her mind, and she’s thrilled to make that notion a reality here at Kogod.
“I really think I’m a product of the US education system, and I’ve always wanted to be a professor,” she said. “Since my undergraduate days, I always assumed that I would have a career and learn a lot, but that I would eventually return to higher education.”
Anderson joins Kogod as a professor of management and as the associate director of the school’s MS in Sustainability Management (MSSM) program. With professional experience in asset management, emerging markets, economics, and business development, she brings a wealth of knowledge from across disciplines to this new role. Most recently, she served as director of sustainable exchange-traded funds at investment company BlackRock, where she led strategy and furthered her commitment to sustainable finance by supporting clients who wanted to invest more sustainably. Her wide range of experience—combined with her passion for teaching and learning—made Kogod a natural fit for her as she took the next step in her career.
