Bank of America Dean
Jenny Chatman is the Bank of America dean of the Haas School of Business. Prior to becoming dean, she held the Paul J. Cortese Distinguished Professorship in the Management of Organizations Group. She has served as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, and from October to December 2023, she served as the school’s Acting Dean.
In her research, teaching, and consulting work, she focuses on how organizations can leverage culture for strategic success and how diverse teams can optimize performance. Her award-winning research has shown, for example, how emphasizing innovation in the context of a strong culture increases firms’ financial success, how narcissistic leaders create organizational cultures lower in collaboration and integrity, and how norms to cooperate can cause members to blur differences among them, even if those differences are useful for group performance—suggesting that collaboration should be calibrated in diverse teams. In 2023, Chatman received the lifetime achievement award from the Academy of Management Organizational Behavior Division for her pioneering work that has changed the field.
Chatman is the Co-founder of the Berkeley Center for Workplace Culture and Innovation. She runs the Leading Strategy Execution Through Culture executive education program and co-hosts the podcast The Culture Kit with Jenny & Sameer with Sameer Srivastava. She has served in many other leadership roles at Haas and UC Berkeley over the years. She has served in many leadership roles at Haas and UC Berkeley over the years, including Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Acting Dean, and Interim Dean from August 2024 to July 2025.
