Ryan Krause is the C. Woody Thompson Professor in the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa. He received his PhD in strategic management and organization theory from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. Ryan conducts research primarily on boards of directors and strategic leadership with an aim toward better understanding how organizations are governed, and how that governance could be improved.
