Biographie
Michael Gibbert (Ph.D. St. Gallen University, M.Com. Stellenbosch, South Africa) is full professor of sustainable consumption at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, and Adjunct Professor at EHL. He previously served on the faculty of Bocconi, was a research associate at INSEAD, and completed part of his Ph.D. at Yale School of Management.
At EHL, he is co-director of the Drucker-EHL DBA, a program that is unique in the DBA market in that it focuses on human-centered management in the context of mid-career transitions. He is also academic director of EHL’s Sustainability Lab, which was founded to explore how using less resources can lead to surprising new customer experiences (after all, popular parlance suggests that sometimes ‘less is more’).
Before making his own career transition into academia, Michael was a professional chef (at least that’s how he likes to think of himself - having completed an apprenticeship at Schwarzer Bock Wiesbaden back in the mists of time). His other great passions are ‘La Bionda Piemontese’ (a type of chicken) and ‘La Bergamasca’ (a handsome sheep breed with floppy ears), both of which can sometimes be seen in the background during his Teams meetings.
