 | A leader in global banking, a former U.S. Treasury Department official, and a Stanford Graduate School of Business PhD, Robert Joss became the eighth Dean of the Business School in 1999. He is the Schools first Dean from industry in 17 years.
Joss has observed that ideas, capital, and technology move freely across borders around the world, but that there is a significant lack of management skill. As Dean he draws on both his academic and business experience to address this issue through education. He has a strong belief in experiential learning, leadership development, and academic research that constantly tests the boundaries of what we know about organizational behavior, finance, and other subjects essential to good management.
Prior to joining the Business School as dean, Joss was chief executive officer and managing director of Westpac Banking Corporation, one of Australias largest banks, a post he held for six years. At Westpac, he was credited with refocusing the bank strategically, modernizing and streamlining operations, and restructuring the banks culture to emphasize teamwork, customer focus, open communication, and community support. Bank shareholders also benefited substantially during and after his tenure.
Before going to Australia, Joss held a variety of posts at San Francisco-based Wells Fargo Bank between 1971 and 1993, serving his last seven years as vice chairman. Prior to Wells Fargo, Joss worked in Washington, D.C., first as a White House Fellow and then for the Treasury Department as deputy to the assistant secretary for economic policy.
He is a director of Wells Fargo & Co., Agilent Technologies Inc., two Australian listed property trusts, and Makena Capital.
Joss was a Sloan Fellow (in what is now called the Stanford Sloan Masters Program) at Stanford Business School in 1965-66; he earned an MBA at the School in 1967 and a PhD in 1970. Besides his graduate degrees from Stanford, Joss holds a BA in economics, magna cum laude, from the University of Washington. |
