Christina Wallace Biography

Christina Wallace is a senior lecturer in the Entrepreneurial Management Unit at Harvard Business School, where she teaches entrepreneurship and marketing in the MBA program, Executive Education, and HBS Online. At Harvard Business School, Wallace serves as co-course head for "The Entrepreneurial Manager," teaches "Launching Tech Ventures," and leads the MBA Startup Bootcamp immersion program. She holds undergraduate degrees in mathematics and theater from Emory University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Before joining the Harvard Business School faculty, Wallace built an entrepreneurial track record across multiple industries. She founded BridgeUp: STEM, an edtech startup inside the American Museum of Natural History, was the founding director of Startup Institute New York, and co-founded and served as CEO of the venture-backed fashion company Quincy Apparel. Wallace later served as vice president of growth at Bionic, an innovation consulting firm acquired by Accenture, where she focused on building startups within large enterprises. She has also worked as a management consultant at Boston Consulting Group and began her career at the Metropolitan Opera.

Wallace is the author of two books. She co-authored "New To Big: How Companies Can Create Like Entrepreneurs, Invest Like VCs, and Install a Permanent Operating System for Growth" with David Kidder, co-founder of growth advisory firm Bionic. She is also the author of "The Portfolio Life: How to Future-Proof Your Career, Avoid Burnout, and Build a Life Bigger Than Your Business Card." Her research focuses on corporate innovation, startup methodologies, career and life design, and narrative leadership in the age of artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on diversification and resilience through portfolio careers.

Wallace co-created and co-hosted "The Limit Does Not Exist," a podcast about portfolio careers produced by iHeartRadio, which ran for three seasons and reached millions of listeners. She has delivered keynotes and workshops internationally, including in Ireland, Denmark, Mexico, Canada, China, Taiwan, and India. Her TED Talk on navigating online dating has received more than 3 million views.

Wallace is a four-time Tony-nominated Broadway co-producer with Nothing Ventured Productions. Her Broadway investments have included the Tony Award-winning "Parade" and "Water for Elephants." She has been recognized by Mashable and Refinery29 and has been featured in Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, Quartz, Elle, and Marie Claire.
