Olivier Schunck

I am teaching several courses in Business and Entrepreneurship. With over 25 years of consulting experience in growth strategy, innovation, marketing and digital transformation, I bring a blend of real-world professional and academic expertise to UCR. Over the course of my career, I have led projects across diverse sectors, working with organizations ranging from start-ups to top-tier global corporations.

In addition to advising executives on critical business challenges, I was also responsible for new asset development, research and thought leadership initiatives, with a particular focus on how emerging digital technologies and AI are reshaping strategy, innovation and growth. In this context, I led large cutting-edge research programs, authored multiple publications and incubated innovative business solutions with companies. Passionate about teaching and research, I have delivered courses and guest lectures at academic institutions such as University College Freiburg, HEC Liège and University of Antwerp.

I hold an MBA from the University of Chicago (USA), a master’s degree in Business Engineering from UCLouvain (Belgium), and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy.
