Placeholder copy, this spring, UCLA Anderson welcomed Timothy Park (’05) as the new executive director of the Easton Technology Management Center. As we celebrate Heather Felix’s well-earned retirement after 12 years of dedicated leadership — during which time she helped shape Easton’s growth and lasting impact — we also look ahead to an exciting new chapter.

Park returns to campus with a rich background in data science and innovation, having held leadership roles at The Aerospace Corporation, DIRECTV, Sony Pictures and Chipotle. As the Easton Center deepens its focus on emerging technologies, artificial intelligence and cross-disciplinary collaboration, Park engaged in a conversation to explore his journey, leadership philosophy and vision for what is next.
