Bio

Jamie Keith Humphries brings a distinctive combination of global corporate leadership and academic excellence to the University of Texas at San Antonio, with over two decades of strategic business development experience at ThermoFisher Scientific paired with advanced degrees in business administration, analytics, and technology commercialization. Most notably, Humphries served as the technical product management leader for anti-doping laboratories at five consecutive Olympic Games—London, Sochi, Rio, Seoul, and Tokyo—where he oversaw the implementation of critical analytical processes and workflows that ensured the integrity of global athletic competition. His professional journey encompasses senior leadership roles managing international market expansion, directing comprehensive product portfolios, and leading cross-functional teams across North America, Europe, and Asia.

This unique Olympic and corporate leadership experience directly shapes Humphries' teaching philosophy, which centers on experiential learning that bridges the gap between academic theory and real-world business application. He leverages his Olympic-level project management experience to teach students how to operate under pressure, manage critical timelines, and maintain excellence in high-visibility environments. Drawing from his extensive experience in global product launches, strategic partnerships, and high-stakes project management, he creates dynamic learning environments where students engage with actual industry challenges and datasets, preparing them to excel in increasingly complex global markets.

In the classroom, Humphries translates his corporate background in developing and launching comprehensive product suites—including successfully replacing seven legacy software systems and achieving significant market expansion through strategic product portfolio growth—into invaluable lessons on strategic thinking, innovation management, and market penetration tactics. His approach emphasizes leadership development through practical application, incorporating lessons learned from managing diverse international teams and navigating complex organizational structures. This methodology is exemplified in his development of innovative programs such as the executive leadership series, which connects students directly with global business leaders, and his integration of cutting-edge analytics tools that mirror those used in Fortune 500 companies.

Humphries' commitment to excellence is reflected in consistently high teaching evaluations and his published research on integrating artificial intelligence into business curricula. His unique ability to translate complex corporate strategies into accessible learning experiences, combined with his track record of developing industry-relevant curricula in data analytics, business intelligence, and strategic management, ensures that students graduate with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills that immediately translate to professional success. Through his leadership both in corporate boardrooms and university classrooms, Humphries continues to shape the next generation of business leaders who are prepared to excel in high-pressure, global business environments.
