Executive and academic teaching in leadership, management and generational change. Programs for companies, institutions and individual executives.
Prof. Dr. Karina Ochis studies how people, organizations, and institutions adapt when the conditions they were built for no longer hold.
She is Associate Dean and Professor of Leadership and Management at Monarch Business School Switzerland, where she teaches and supervises at doctoral and master's level, and Associate Professor and Lecturer at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies, teaching management, human resources, and institutional economics in English and Romanian.
She holds two doctorates earned Summa Cum Laude in Switzerland and a Master of Liberal Arts in Government from Harvard University Extension School. Her book Gen Z in Work: A Practical Guide to Engaging Employees Across the Generations is published by Routledge.
She works at three scales: how organizations lead across four generations at once, how leaders decide under continuous change, and how institutions hold together under external pressure.
For fifteen years, executives, companies, universities, and international bodies on four continents have brought her in to teach, advise, and speak on all three.
01/ PEOPLE
The Ochis Model of Multigenerational Leadership came out of a decade of research into why four generations in one workplace produce friction. It is now the basis of her book Gen Z in Work (Routledge).
02/ Organizations
Leadership taught from research rather than anecdote: reading conditions, deciding under incomplete information, and building legacy organizations.
03/ Institutions
Institutions hold together, or fail, under compound external shock — through convergence, economic statecraft, technology capacity, and governance capacity.
