Leading at the Edge: The UC Berkeley Haas Dean’s Speaker Series

Our dean’s speaker series returns this fall as Leading at the Edge. Hosted by Dean Jennifer Chatman and curated by MBA students, the flagship speaker series at UC Berkeley Haas features candid, curiosity-driven conversations with leaders moving business forward. Guests—who have included the CEOs of Nike, Nvidia, Perplexity, Rent the Runway, Stripe, Waymo, Deloitte, and The New York Times—share their experiences guiding their organizations through uncertainty, navigating their careers, and redefining what’s possible in their industries.

Attend the in-person events

Leading at the Edge events are free and open to the Haas community. Registration is required for in-person attendance and typically opens seven days before each event (links will be posted under the speaker’s name as they become available). Priority is given to students, staff, faculty, and invited guests of the Haas School of Business.
