This fall semester, the Kogod School of Business expanded its Department of Management faculty by the hiring of three proven business leaders spanning the sports, public relations, and entertainment industries.
The new faculty hires include:
Together, the trio will bolster Kogod’s diverse Management Department that prepares students for successful careers leading major corporations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies—imparting foundational skills ranging from strategy to business and corporate ethics and human resources.
Professor Matt Bakowicz joins Kogod this fall after more than a decade in roles spanning professional and collegiate sports, and in key adjacent industries like sports betting.
In his new faculty post at Kogod, Bakowicz will start by teaching Management and Organizational Behavior this semester.
But he’ll also be laying the foundation for Kogod’s Sports Business Management specialization—a new track that will help students get early experience in the multi-billion-dollar industry that is sports.
