Last night, MBA students at Boston University Questrom School of Business had the rare opportunity to learn from a true pioneer in technology and business innovation. Dan Bricklin, the visionary behind the invention of the spreadsheet—and a close associate of Bill Gates and of many other well-known Personal Computers pioneers—delivered an Executive Guest Lecture in the MBA Spreadsheet Modeling course, instructed by Professor Avi Seidmann.
This exclusive event exemplifies Questrom’s practice of bridging theory with real-world application. As part of the Questrom Management Science program, students engage with industry leaders, cutting-edge tools, and data-driven strategies that shape today’s business landscape.
By learning directly from innovators like Bricklin, our MBA students gain not only technical expertise but also a strategic mindset to lead in an analytics-driven world.
