Emory CBO Mike Mandl Leverages Broad Experience for Smart Business Management
You might not think of big pharma as a launchpad for a successful CBO, but that’s the path of our guest, Mike Mandl. As EVP for Business and Administration at Emory University, Mike brings a rich experience across industries to his work as an institutional leader. His early exploration led to a decades-long commitment to “a cause bigger than myself,” says Mandl.
Today on CBO Speaks, Mike shares how he takes his experience in financial leadership to partner across departments to help build creative solutions with his academic peers. “My whole mind is oriented to: where do we want to get to, and how do we lead people, processes, and resources to do that. It’s more about people than it is about money.” Join us for a conversation with an inspirational leader in our CBO ranks.
