Magdalena Cutler is a section lead for William & Mary’s Online MBA program. She is an economics professor and a business professional with a passion for teaching, learning and innovation. Her main goal as a professor is to encourage students to think and apply economics and business concepts to the real world.
She started her professional career as a technical production manager at American Express Co., where she remotely managed a team of database professionals located in India in supporting the international credit card acquisitions marketing processes in Brazil, U.K., New Zealand and Australia.
Later, she partnered with professionals in the healthcare industry and started an assisted living facility in Mesa, Arizona. Additionally, she identified the need to bring high-quality U.S. graduate business education to foreign business professionals working for American companies abroad. She established an online business program leading the development from the conceptual idea through the planning, licensing, marketing and operations stages. Both endeavors were successful and eventually sold.
A lifelong learner, Magdalena recently participated in a yearlong assignment at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. A native of Bulgaria, she currently lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with her partner and three daughters.
