Yorkville University is proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Oluchi Oti as Dean of Business for its Ontario campus.
Since stepping into her new role in September, Dr. Oti has taken on oversight of Yorkville’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Project Management program in Ontario and is now leading the launch of Yorkville’s new Master of Business Administration (MBA), which is set to debut in January 2026.
Her expertise will play a key role in shaping the future of Yorkville’s business education offerings, said Dr. Angela Antohi-Kominek, Campus Principal & Vice President Academic, Ontario.
“We are confident that Oluchi’s vision, experience, and passion for education will be instrumental in advancing our Business programs and enriching the academic experience at our Ontario campus,” Antohi-Kominek said.
Dr. Oti brings a wealth of academic and professional experience to her new position. She holds both a Doctorate in Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of Liverpool, and she is a Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – designations that reflect her deep expertise in strategic execution and agile leadership.
Her achievements have also been recognized beyond academia – in 2024, she was named one of Canada’s Top 100 Black Women to Watch, a distinction celebrating the influence and impact of Black women across a wide range of fields including business, education, community leadership, and the arts.
Beyond her work in the classroom and boardroom, Oluchi is a strong advocate for equity, diversity, inclusion, and women’s empowerment. Living with a physical disability has further shaped her perspective and strengthened her commitment to creating inclusive environments where diverse talent can thrive. Her leadership has helped organizations build cultures of belonging while driving meaningful results, and she continues to inspire the next generation of leaders to pursue excellence and lead change in business and project management.
