Full-Time MBA Faculty Session (San Francisco II)

Kellogg admissions officers and alumni will be on hand to give you an inside perspective on Kellogg’s One-Year, Two-Year, MMM and JD-MBA programs — and show you what Kellogg can do for your career. Special faculty guest David Schonthal will be joining us exclusively for this even to deliver a mini-class.

David Schonthal is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management where he teaches courses in new venture creation and business model design. He also serves as the Director of Kellogg's Zell Fellows program -- a selective venture accelerator program designed to help student-entrepreneurs successfully launch new businesses.

David is also a leader in the Business Design practice at IDEO, an award-winning innovation consultancy, where he has helped develop initiatives such as the Startup-in-Residence program as well as other offers and approaches around venture design and corporate entrepreneurship.

He currently serves as a member of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship council, ChicagoNext and is the Co-Founder of MATTER. David has served as an advisor to the State of Illinois's Invest Illinois Venture Capital Fund and mentors with several startup accelerators and incubators throughout the United States, including TechStars, CONNECT, San Diego Sports Innovators (SDSI), and Chicago Innovation Mentors.

He has received several honors for his work, which recently include receiving a Kellogg Faculty Impact Award for excellence in teaching, as well as being named to Crain's Chicago Business magazine's "40 Under 40" list in 2014.
