The SOAR Initiative provides a comprehensive support model for startups, empowering individuals who lack access to entrepreneurship training. Additionally, the newly established Corporate Partners Program fosters strategic partnerships between corporations and Costello, supporting student recruitment, internships, scholarships, and faculty awards. In 2023, Vinzé also oversaw the renaming of the School of Business to the Donald G. Costello College of Business.

Prior to joining Costello, Vinzé served as Dean of the Robert J. Trulaske, Sr. College of Business at the �鶹�� of Missouri. At Trulaske, he is credited with significantly enhancing the research profile of the college, offering innovative business education programs, and raising over $30M in philanthropic giving. Vinzé is a Fulbright Senior Specialist and a global citizen, having lived, worked or traveled through more than 70 countries over the past three decades. He completed his doctoral degree at the �鶹�� of Arizona after receiving a master’s degree from the �鶹�� of Connecticut and a bachelor’s degree from ShriRam College of Commerce (SRCC) at the �鶹�� of Delhi.

Research Interests

Dean Vinzé maintains an active research agenda, and his work ranges from artificial intelligence (AI) applications for business problem solving and collaborative computing to emergency preparedness and response and disruptive influences of ICT investments.

In 2012, his research contributions were recognized at Arizona State �鶹�� with a Faculty Excellence Award.

In May 2016, based on a model developed by Dean Vinzé, MasterCard Foundation awarded Arizona State $21.9 million. This interdisciplinary six year grant focuses on promoting tertiary education in sub-Saharan Africa.
