Sheena Iyengar Biography

Sheena S. Iyengar serves as the S.T. Lee Professor of Business in the Management Department at Columbia Business School. Her research revolves around the concept of choice, investigating what influences our decisions and how to enhance our decision-making abilities. Iyengar's contribution to the academic world is evident in her receipt of the 1998 Best Dissertation Award from the Society of Experimental Social Psychology for her work, "Choice and its Discontents". She was also honored with the 2001 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and in 2002, the National Science Foundation awarded her for her study on the perception of choice.

Iyengar has taken her knowledge and expertise to a broader audience through her books, "The Art of Choosing" and "Think Bigger". "The Art of Choosing" not only landed third in Amazon's top ten books in Business & Investing of 2010, but it was also shortlisted for the 2010 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award. In addition, she frequently lends her insights to major publications and media outlets, discussing topics related to choice and decision-making. Iyengar's media appearances include The Diane Rehm Show and Marketplace, where she delved into the themes of her book, "The Art of Choosing".

As an esteemed speaker, Iyengar's insights have been sought after at various high-profile events, including TED talks titled "The Art of Choosing" and "How to Make Choosing Easier", as well as the Fifth Annual Spirit of Women in Business Conference. Her contributions to the field of management thought were recognized in 2011 when she was named a member of the Thinkers50, a global ranking of the top 50 management thinkers. This recognition, along with the 2012 Dean's Award for Outstanding Core Teaching from Columbia Business School, underscores Iyengar's ability to impart knowledge and inspire others through her words and work.
