From 2011–2015 I wrote for specialized infosec media such as [Global Security Magazine](https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/profile/jean-loup-richet/) and for general IT publications including [Computer World](https://www.computerworld.com/profile/jean-loup-richet/). My recent publications in the press and online media include the following: 1. Richet, J. L. (2025). Hard lessons from a chaotic transformation. *CIO Magazine*. ([Featured Article](https://www.cio.com/article/4027356/the-lessons-of-a-chaotic-billion-dollar-transformation.html); translated in German for [Computer Woche](https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4015870/die-lehren-einer-chaotischen-milliarden-transformation.html)) 2. Richet, J. L. (2025). What I learned from a messy billion-dollar digital transformation. *Blogs, CIO Magazine*. ([Available here](https://www.cio.com/article/4004352/what-i-learned-from-a-messy-billion-dollar-digital-transformation.html)) 3. Richet, J. L. (2024).

I teach courses on Management Information Systems, Risk Management, Cybersecurity for managers, IS Project management, Design Thinking, IS Strategy, in master (FI/FC) and MBA levels (graduate and postgraduate teaching). My teaching also includes a course in the master of Research and in the doctoral program (scraping and data science). Since 2023, I've been the Director of the 100% online, MBA Management & Data Science (which currently has 45 students). This involved leading a 290-hour recording process with 21 professors and builds upon my prior experience directing the University Diploma in Management & Data Science, launched in 2020 (120 hours). This MBA program is strongly connected to my research within the Risques Chair. Internationally, I teach foundational Management Information Systems courses in English for MBA students in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi (Vietnam), and Beijing (China); in French in Tunis (Tunisia). I actively integrate findings from my research into my courses, particularly those related to digital risks and cybersecurity. Furthermore, I disseminate my work through invited presentations. For example, my 2023 invited lecture at the DNRED (Direction Nationale du Renseignement et des Enquêtes Douanières) on online money laundering drew directly from my research on emerging AI applications within cybercriminal communities. Similarly, my invited presentation at the [Cyberjustice Europe 2023]([https://www.cyberjustice.ca/files/sites/102/programme-cyberjustice-V6.pdf](https://www.cyberjustice.ca/files/sites/102/programme-cyberjustice-V6.pdf)) international conference was grounded in my research on cybercrime. ## Awards and Honors **2024**: Nominated as outstanding reviewer, Pré-ICIS WISP24. **2023**: Nominated as [**AIS distinguished member**](https://credential.certifyme.online/verify/6733148a6344). **2022**: Nominated for the ICIS Junior Faculty Consortium.
