Leavey Executive Professor Retires

Linda Alepin, Dean’s Executive Professor and member of the Dean’s Advisory Board at the Leavey School of Business has officially retired. Alepin joined the Leavey School Dean’s Advisory Board in February 1996 where her impact on the business school has made a world of difference.In partnership with the Business School, Alepin founded the Global Women’s Leadership Network, bringing the ideals of Santa Clara University to an international forum as she recruited women leaders locally and abroad to discover their skills and abilities to make change in their communities. In the 10 years since its founding, the Global Women’s Leadership Network has grown to become a separate non-profit organization supporting and developing women leaders around the world.

As a leader within the Business School community, Professor Alepin championed global learning in development of the LSB Global Fellows program. As a result of her efforts, this program places Santa Clara students in globally oriented non-profits for up to seven weeks over the summer, in roles that give them new insight into the nature of work and the world.

Alepin received the Eleanor Roosevelt Fund Award by the American Association of University Women, recognition from the Santa Clara County Commission of the Status of Women and the Girl Scouts of Northern California, all marking her commitment to continuous learning for the common good.

The professor has also appeared at INC. Magazine’s Small Business Conferences, Forbes CIO conferences and on the PBS, Nightly Business Report. Her treatise “Rethinking Our Thinking” was published in Leading Organizational Learning, a compendium of new thought by authors such as Meg Wheatley, Jon Katzenbach, and David Ulrich.

Alepin is the Founder, President, and CEO of Pebblesoft Learning, Inc., and spent eighteen years at Amdahl Corporation, ending as Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Officer, as well as at IBM Corporation where she held various managerial and individual contributor positions. She is an honorary initiate to the MBA honor society, Beta Gamma Sigma and is a graduate of Stanford University.
