WATCH: New Provost on Innovation and Change

Entrepreneurial leaders are developed to iterate, adapt, and innovate, as conditions change and new opportunities arise. Ariel C. Armony, who will be joining Babson this fall as the new provost and executive vice president, says the College is built to embrace change and excel.  

“Babson is in a really extraordinary place because of its assets, but things change,” he says, “so we need to keep changing and adjusting to the new reality.” 

In the final introductory video this month, Armony discusses his view on how Babson is embracing innovation, citing The Generator, the interdisciplinary AI lab at the C. Dean Metropoulos Institute of Technology and Entrepreneurship, where faculty are exploring the intersection of AI and entrepreneurship.
