"We at the Darden School are excited to partner with the Money Management Institute as the academic partner for Executive IQ, an innovative leadership development offering for managers across the asset management, wealth management, and fintech sectors," Scott Beardsley, dean of the UVA Darden School of Business, said in a video.
