Mentor Markus Baer
Markus works at the frontier of creativity—where ideas are born, shaped, and turned into engines of transformation. A Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Vice Dean of Executive Education at Washington University in St. Louis, he is one of the world’s leading scholars on creativity, problem formulation, and innovation. His research has reshaped how organisations think, earning international awards and recognition across academia and industry.
Beyond scholarship, Markus is a masterful teacher. He has taught leaders from NASA, the CIA, Brookings, and global corporations, bringing a rare blend of rigour and provocation into every room he enters. His gift is clarity, the ability to illuminate how people and teams unlock creativity under real-world constraints.
At AxioMetis, Markus anchors our commitment to thoughtful innovation: ideas grounded in evidence, sharpened by inquiry, and carried with integrity.
