Dr. Christine E Looser

Minerva Project, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships

Christine Looser, PhD, leads Strategic Partnerships for Minerva Project in North America. In that role, she helps universities around the world build smarter, more human learning systems. She has spent the last decade designing new models of education, from cutting-edge undergraduate programs to executive learning experiences, grounded in how people actually think, learn, and grow. Christine was the first hire for the Business College at Minerva University, where she served as College Head and taught data-driven brand strategy. Her research explores how small cognitive biases create outsized consequences for interpersonal understanding, organizational management, and public policy. Before joining Minerva, Looser was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard Business School and taught in the Harvard Psychology Department as a College Fellow. She holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Dartmouth College and an interdisciplinary BA from the College of the Holy Cross. Christine is known for bringing systems thinking to complex challenges and building coherent learning models that work with brains, instead of against them.
