You never know too much

Finance professor Francisco López-Lubián is as passionate about finance as he is about the cinema. By the way, he’s not only a finance professor, he’s actually the head of the finance area at IE Business School. He’s also worked for the finance industry for quite some time. But most of all he just loves films.
That’s why we decided to cast him as the main character in a finance crime movie entitled “You Never Know Too Much,” as you can see in this trailer for the film. Don´t miss his references to films like The Godfather, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or Amores Perros, not to mention The man who knew too much… Enjoy.

Climbing

If IE University professors are a crazy and knowledgeable bunch who don’t think twice about revealing what makes them tick and how their passions serve to illustrate key points about the subjects they teach,
History Professor Miguel Larrañaga is a prime example.

This Professor of History and Vice-Rector for Student Affairs can scale a rock face like a mountain monkey, and I don’t mind telling you it was pretty scary to see him up there on that steep mountainside just climbing and talking about the great mountaineering achievements of people like Reinhold Messner and the like…

He talks passionately about mountaineering and he talks passionately about history. If I had to sum him up in a few words, I would say that he lives the way he talks, always true to himself and what he does. He has also authored a book that is set to be published very soon!!!!

IE University Professors – Second Season 2013/14

IE University professors are a crazy and knowledgeable bunch who don’t think twice about revealing what makes them tick and how their passions in life often serve to illustrate key points about the subjects they teach.

This video features just some of the professors who gave us insights into their lives and specializations over the course of the last academic year. I hope you’ll enjoy this reminder of Soledad Atienza making marmalades for her favorite literary characters, Mario Esteban diving with sharks, Javier de Cendra’s passion for wine, Vincent Doyle’s love for his greyhound, Neringa Kalpokaite’s homage to Citizen Kane , David Goodman’s unwavering support for the Chicago Cubs, Daniel Kselman’s search for harmony, Amber Wigmore’s gracefulness on ice, Pedro Letai’s poetry, Andrew McCarthy’s appreciation of art, Julián Montaño’s thoughts on creating our own identities, and Leticia Ponce’s inspiring ideas about compassionate management.

I’d just like to add a very big thank you to all the professors who have been the subject of Other Side videos with such enthusiasm and good grace, and don’t mind admitting that I’m looking forward to discovering the other side of many more IE professors this coming year!
