Pauline Albert is assistant dean and an instructor in the School of Management and Business at St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX. She currently serves as faculty co-director of research for the Austin Ethics in Business awards and teaches Applied Ethics, and Leadership and Financial Performance in the MBA and Master of Science in Leadership and Organizational Ethics programs. She also has developed and taught graduate classes in business communications, marketing, branding and spirituality and work.

After a 25-year career of living around the globe and serving in a variety of senior management positions in the banking, consulting and high-tech industries, Pauline joined the staff of St. Edward’s to fulfill her lifelong dream to teach and help young people to discover and live their passion. During her 12-years with Intel Corporation, she managed corporate and marketing communications, managed the Intel Inside® brand in Europe, and held a wide variety of marketing and sales management positions, including serving as Intel co-founder, Gordon Moore’s speechwriter.

Pauline is actively involved as a parishioner of St. Theresa Catholic parish in Austin, TX and serves as a cantor, sings in the choir, is a member of the Adult Faith Formation committee, and leads a Spirituality in Everyday Life dialogue group. She also is a founding member and serves on the steering committee for the Austin Diocesan Assembly of Catholic Professionals.

Pauline holds a Bachelor of Arts in Romance Languages from Emory University and an M.BA in Finance and Multinational Enterprise from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School. As a Rotary Scholar she studied at the University of Lyon and at L’École Supérieure de Commerce in Lyon, France.

Pauline’s research interests relate to the wisdom aspects of the Creative Longevity and Wisdom Initiative. Her initial research at Fielding has focused on the notion of finding wholeness through spiritual practice and a personal commitment to identifying and living your life passion. People young and old feel disengaged from their work and even from their family lives because they have not identified who they are and what their passions are. Whether we are 21 or 71, we should be on a quest to discover and use our gifts and live with purpose and passion. Pauline’s dissertation research is on Saint Francis of Assisi as an integral leader. While St. Francis lived a short life and died at 45, he lived every day with great passion and commitment.
