Gastón de los Reyes joined the Strategic Management and Public Policy department of the GW School of Business in 2014 as assistant professor, following his graduation from the Wharton School’s doctoral program in Ethics and Legal Studies. He continues to teach the Online MBA program’s Business Ethics & Public Policy course. Previously, de los Reyes practiced corporate law and litigation and studied philosophy and law (A.B; M.A.; J.D.).

His research is action-oriented, intended to help the people running companies formulate strategies that better promote well-being, justice, and the health of our planet. To this end, his interdisciplinary project has primarily focused on the point of view of entrepreneurs and managers who need frameworks to help formulate responsible strategy. In a second stream of research, he interrogates the institutions of contracting — contract law in particular — that undergird arms-length collaboration in business.
