David Wesley , Case Research Manager

David Wesley joined Northeastern University’s College of Business in 1999 from the Richard Ivey School of Business where he was Latin America Program Director. Through the generous support of the Darla and Frederick Brodsky Chair in International Business, Mr. Wesley has developed a series of case studies and teaching notes in international business. Some of the companies featured include Adidas, Compaq Computer Corporation, and Monsanto Life Sciences. Mr. Wesley also developed a series of cases that highlight the leadership of Northeastern Executive MBA graduates who have attained the level of CEO or President in their respective companies.

Prior to joining Northeastern, Mr. Wesley held a similar position at the Ivey Business School in London, Ontario. There he wrote case studies on several well-known corporations, including Mondavi Wines, British Airways, 3M, and the Bank of Nova Scotia.

Mr. Wesley’s case studies have appeared in 18 management textbooks and have been ranked among the top 40 best-selling cases at Harvard Business School Publishing and the top 10 best-selling cases at Ivey Publishing.
