Paolo Taticchi’s expertise lies in sustainability transformation, competitive strategy, consulting, and the future of cities. In his 2023 casebook, Sustainable Transformation Strategy, he demonstrates how companies can design and execute corporate sustainability strategies into their overall business strategy. In Disruption, he explains how the role of the CEO is undergoing significant transformation. No longer merely an executor of strategies, the CEO is evolving into a “chief equilibrium officer”, capable not only of steering the organisation but also of interpreting changes with agility, identifying dissonance, and reshaping equilibrium.
Paolo is a professor of strategy and sustainability and the school deputy director (Executive Education, MBA and Global Engagement) at University College London (UCL) School of Management, where he is also co-director of the UCL Centre for Sustainable Business. Prior to his role at UCL, Paolo was academic director of MSc Management, Weekend MBA, and Global Online MBA at Imperial College London, where he also led the Global Student Experience. Highly active in executive education, Paolo has trained thousands of managers and executives of Fortune Global 500 companies and is regularly invited to teach at top business schools across the world.
