CGB Academic Innovation Series: Featuring Prof. Alex Gabbi
With over 25 years of diverse business experience, Prof. Alex Gabbi combines real-world expertise with teaching excellence. He has successfully launched several startups across various industries and has over 18 years of experience teaching entrepreneurship, business operations, strategy, and marketing at UT. Prof. Gabbi’s broad expertise and hands-on experience insights make him a versatile member of the International Business faculty at McCombs, and his entrepreneurial spirit has enabled him to design new courses and introduce topical content into ongoing ones.
Global Entrepreneurship was first introduced eighteen years ago to help students understand the unique challenges of launching a “born global” enterprise.
Since then, course content has evolved to reflect the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems worldwide, advancements in technology that facilitate international trade and marketing, and the evolution of global value chains that enables even the smallest entrepreneurial venture to have a multinational footprint. Prof. Gabbi’s Global Entrepreneurship course has evolved through the years to reflect emerging trends and skillsets in the global environment that support entrepreneurs with a borderless mindset. In addition, Global Entrepreneurship keeps former students throughout the world coming back to act as global customers in the course’s market simulation.
We’re grateful to Prof. Gabbi for helping to continuously re-invent the International Business major and bring cutting-edge research and practical applications to the rapidly changing global environment.
