Nationally known as an expert in organizational stewardship and financial sustainability, Ari Betof, EdD, serves as the president and lead consultant of Organizational Sustainability Consulting, LLC. Working with companies in the private sector, as well as non-profit organizations, Dr. Ari Betof is particularly focused on the educational sphere. An executive MBA candidate at Cornell University, he was recently a guest on The Koinos Podcast, which features entrepreneurs and executives from leading MBA programs.
Having spent his career considering organizational stewardship best practices, Dr. Betof describes one of the gifts of his current executive education as focusing on practical takeaways and “not caring” about grades. This has to do with not only having completed an earlier graduate degree, but also having gained a wealth of experience over the course of his career.
He applies what he has learned in his MBA program to augmenting his understanding of finance. With an academic background in math and physics, finance is an area about which he taught himself as the Great Recession took hold and the economy faltered. Insights gained through self-study enabled a pivot, from a focus on stewardship to sustainability.
The executive MBA degree program at Cornell has offered Dr. Betof a pathway for putting “real rigor” behind the observations and conclusions he had developed independently. At the same time, the program provides opportunities for building capacities that enable him in a current shift toward consulting clients who increasingly come from the private sector.
