Current Leadership
Prof. Nila Wiese
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP AND LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM
- Research focus: My teaching and research are centered on issues related to international business strategy in emerging markets, with a geographic focus on Latin America. My current research is in the areas of innovation in emerging economies, especially innovations that advance social and environmental sustainability; migration and entrepreneurship; and the effects of social and cultural differences on leadership and management practices
- Hometown: I was born and lived in Honduras for 25 years. After studying and working in the US for a decade, I lived in Japan and Honduras for a few years before joining University of Puget Sound in 2003. I have called Tacoma home for the past twenty years.
- What I love about Puget Sound: I love the energy, curiosity, and collaborative engagement that allows everyone in the Puget Sound community (students, faculty, and staff) to seek innovative and just solutions to local and global problems.
- What I would like to learn from students: Their interests and challenges, and how I can best support their college experiences. I would also like to understand what kind of local and global communities they envision and aspire to build through impactful citizenship.
