Margaret Maile Petty
Professor Margaret Maile Petty has, over the last two decades, served in a series of academic leadership roles in the United States, New Zealand and Australia where she has developed and managed a wide spectrum of initiatives, from reimagining curriculum to the creation of student entrepreneurship programmes and opportunities, to the establishment of transdisciplinary research groups. Each of these initiatives is linked to larger organizational shifts and a recalibration of the way in which universities engage with both internal and external stakeholders, which has allowed her to draw upon her background and expertise in design. Originally trained as a design historian, Professor Petty also continues to research, speak and publish in her area of focus, which broadly investigates the discourse, production and consumption practices of the modern built environment. Currently, she serves as Executive Director, Innovation & Entrepreneurship at the University of Technology Sydney, where she brings this diverse skill set to the development of university-wide strategy, ensuring and sustaining collaborative, adaptive environments and maintaining productive relationships across internal and external stakeholder groups.
