About María Ballesteros -Sola

Associate Professor of Management (Early Tenure) at the MVS School of Business & Economics at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) in Camarillo, CA (USA). I received my DBA from IE Business School (July 2017), MBA from the Graduate School of Management at Boston University, and Law Degree (with a minor in Business, E-1) from Universidad Pontificia Comillas-ICADE in Madrid (Spain). I am a proud 🇪🇸Spanish Fulbright Scholar (1998-2000), 🇺🇸 Paul R. Lawrence Fellow (2016), and 🇺🇸 B Academics Founding Board Member (2019). I also serve on 🇬🇧The Case Centre’s Board of Trustees, the 🇺🇸 Case Research Foundation’s Board and Women Economic Ventures’ Board. In the Fall of 2024, I was appointed Director of our Entrepreneurship & Small Business Institute hosted under the MVS School of Business & Economics. During the AY 2020-2021, I served as the Academic Director for the CSUCI Online Business Program. Since January 2022, I have also been a Faculty Lead at CI Solutions, our student-run agency, and the MVS Social Impact Learning Community (LC) Coordinator. This LC is the first one in our MVS School of Business & Economics.Before moving to the United States, my career was in financial services and management consulting on both sides of the Atlantic, helping banks and other organizations to use technology to achieve their business objectives. At CSUCI, I am actively researching social entrepreneurship, social enterprises, hybrid organizations, B Corps, and non-profit organizations engaging in Earned Income Strategies (EIS). I also strongly advocate for using experiential/service learning, case method, study abroad, and technology in higher education. #socent #HigherEd #edtech #BCorp #COIL #studyabroad #casemethod #experientiallearning #learningcommunitiesI would LOVE to connect, but please, if we haven't met before, write me a line!
