Robert C. Pozen

Robert C. Pozen has been teaching at MIT Sloan School of Management for seven years after a distinguished career in the investment industry. He was President of Fidelity Investments and Executive Chair of MFS Investment Management. In addition, he served as a senior official in both the federal and state government.Pre-pandemic, Pozen delivered his expertise on workplace productivity in person, leading popular seminars for large companies and institutions and teaching a MIT course for executives twice a year. MIT began extending Pozen’s reach by offering a podcast to students and alumni. In spring 2020, after Pozen gave a successful MIT online course to executives which focused on how to be productive when working remotely, he realized there was a substantial audience in need of his expertise. During the pandemic he has worked from home, meeting online with both companies and non-profit institutions online. In fall of 2020 he will teach an MBA course online, just as he did this spring.

Pozen is also the author of six books, including Extreme Productivity, a New York Times bestseller.
