Vanessa Patrick

President
University of Houston

Dr. Vanessa Patrick is the Associate Dean for Research, Bauer Professor of Marketing, Fulbright Specialist (2019-2022) and Lead Faculty for the Bauer Executive Women in Leadership Program at the Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston.

Her research deals with the psychology that underlies the two sides of the pleasure coin. On one hand, she studies the pursuit of pleasure in her work dealing with art, everyday aesthetics, design, and luxury branding. On the other hand, she develops strategies to help individuals successfully manage and control the pull of pleasure (self-regulation) and to pursue personal development and self-mastery in personal and professional spheres.
