Following a national search, Georgia Tech alumnus Anuj Mehrotra has been selected to be the Stephen P. Zelnak Jr. Chair and dean of Georgia Tech’s Scheller College of Business, effective Jan. 1, 2024.
Mehrotra is currently the dean of The George Washington University School of Business (GWSB) and has held that position since 2018. He is also a professor of Decision Sciences in the school. Under his leadership, GWSB has reimagined graduate business education by introducing modularity and flexibility through industry-driven certificates that help create customizable master’s degrees. The school has also invested in making its programs more accessible by expanding the portfolio of online offerings. With Mehrotra at the helm, the school converted all undergraduate business degrees to B.S. degrees featuring new majors in business analytics, entrepreneurship, information systems, international business, and marketing. These changes have enabled students to obtain double majors. The school also created 4+1 combined degree pathways for both business and nonbusiness students to pursue interdisciplinary education opportunities and earn a specialized master’s degree at GWSB — in addition to the undergraduate degree — in five years.
“Anuj Mehrotra’s vision of entrepreneurship, and interdisciplinary and experiential education, aligns seamlessly with Georgia Tech’s goal of expanding access and our commitment to our Progress and Service motto,” said Steven W. McLaughlin, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. “His experience with building a culture of collaboration, transparency, and trust will build upon the Scheller community’s trajectory as a leader in business education and research. We are excited to welcome him back to his alma mater.”
