Linda Oubre

As Dean of the College of Business at San Francisco State University, Linda Oubre brings more than two decades of corporate, entrepreneurial, and teaching experience to the role.

She co-founded and was president of BriteSmile, was president of Tri Com Ventures, oversaw business development at the Los Angeles Times, and once served as assistant director of MBA Admissions at HBS.

“In a world where only 18 percent of business school deans are women, and less than 1 percent are African American...HBS has allowed me to be a visible example so that more people who look like me will see what's possible.”
