The Strategic Management Society is pleased to announce the appointment of Thomas Lorenz as the first-ever Media Chair, a volunteer leadership role launched to guide SMS’s media strategy in collaboration with the SMS Media Taskforce.

Lorenz brings over two decades of executive experience in high-tech industries, with a focus on corporate strategy, communications, and global PR. He has led company-wide strategy initiatives and crafted compelling content for diverse audiences—from Chinese social media users to German business media outlets.

In 2023, Lorenz transitioned to academia, joining the Executive PhD program at the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business. This shift reflects his growing passion for bridging academic research and real-world impact—an ideal match for SMS’s mission.

As Media Chair, Lorenz will lead a volunteer team in advancing SMS’s content strategy, outreach, and visibility. His responsibilities will span content development, public relations, and integration with SMS’s broader strategic goals.

The SMS community looks forward to the leadership and vision Lorenz will bring to this new role as he helps shape how SMS communicates its value to global academic, corporate, and practitioner audiences.
