We wrapped the th (!) edition of the Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports executive education program at @HarvardHBS this weekend, with an awe-inspiring group of close to 80 accomplished executives, athletes and artists. Thank you, everyone, for all the wisdom, energy and fun you brought t...

I jumped at the chance to attend the first screening of @rogerfederers upcoming documentary on the final 12 days of his career as a tennis player in NYC yesterday, and be in the presence of the himself. Such an honor and an absolute blast! Thank you, @tgodsick88, for making it happen! The film,...

Had a blast at the Miami F1 Grand Prix this weekend. Great to reconnect with the amazing people at @mercedesamgf1, see @landonorris grab his first F1 victory , learn more about @scuderiaferrari and @redbullracing, and hang out with lots of friends. Special shoutout to the pit marshal who recogn...

New case alert! You didnt think I would let last years most-talked-about transfer and the collaboration of two of the biggest legends the sports world has ever seen go by without a case, would you? I didnt think so. Not one, but two cases, in fact. One on @davidbeckham and how he built a busi...

I managed to squeeze in two speaking events for the @NFL and its players in the span of a week, first for the @nflpa in Washington, DC, and yesterday for the Heads of Player Engagement in Indianapolis. Great to meet up with so many old and new connections! I decided not to suit up for the NFL Co...

Acclaimed writer, director and producer @Ava DuVernay spent the day at @HarvardHBS on Saturday, for a keynote at our African American Student Union conference and a special class on the work she is doing with her company Array and her film Origin to make Hollywood more equitable and drive social ...

I was honored to serve as a panelist for the @nbaafricaofficial luncheon during NBA All-Star Weekend, alongside NBA legend Joakim Noah (aka @stickity13), Rwandas Francis Gatare, and the amazing @rosgo21. And really excited to catch up with so many friends over the course of the weekend. Quick st...

Last month, Toto Wolff and I co-taught a new short @HarvardHBS course on High-Performance Management: Leading a Formula One Team. For three full days, 100 MBA students learned from Toto and guest speakers James Allison, Bradley Lord, @georgerussell63, and Russell Braithwaite, and discussed variou...

Back in Boston after a week of safari in South Africa the best of times. We were so lucky with a series of beautiful sightings of lions, leopards, cheetahs (first spotted by the husband, in one of his finest moments ever!), and many more magnificent animals at @londolozi and @lionsandsgamereserv...

New case alert! The unparalleled @francisngannou now stars in his own @HarvardHBS case study, and rightly so. Leaving the UFC for the PFL and the chance of a boxing career was a bold move, but its paying off in spades. Francis even transformed into Professor Ngannou for my MBA classes just bef...

Happy New Year everyone! 2023 was a year full of teaching for me (so much so, that I had to take it easy on social media for a couple of months, probably forever ruining how the algorithm treats me, ha!) Two semesters with a total of 400 MBA students, and lots of executive education. Ill provide...

Mercedes Formula One team principal Toto Wolff returned to @HarvardHBS this week for a Q&A in a packed auditorium, ahead of the Austin race this weekend. Living up to his new appointment as an Executive Fellow, he totally crushed it, dropping leadership and team management insights left and right...
