In students' words

"David is by far the best professor at IESE. Not only an expert in finance, but he also makes it fun, engaging, and exciting. The course was masterfully curated with top-level speakers."

MBA-2026 Fall · New York module

"The best experience during the IESE MBA to date. Professor Teeters has done an amazing job organising this, and I'd encourage any future student who's interested in this to sign up. My only regret is that I can only do this once."

MBA-2026 Fall · New York module

"Definitely a rockstar. Made me like finance again after a bad experience in IBD. I would recommend anyone to have a class with David Teeters."

MBA-2026-3 · Corporate Finance

"I would go as far as to say this is the best course I have attended so far at IESE. The level of energy and enthusiasm Prof. Teeters brings to the classroom is unmatched — his deep knowledge of the finance industry derived from his first-hand work experience only makes it better."

MBA-2025-4 · New York module

"A professor that exemplifies top-tier MBA quality. He ensures the people with the least background in the subject are following. He challenges us, makes us think critically and made finance a subject that we could all understand. 10/10."

MBA-2026-3 · Corporate Finance

"My ROI of the MBA was this module."

World as classroom

The teaching draws on a working life spent moving between markets and jurisdictions — coverage across forty-plus countries in the pre-Asia-crisis years, and eight years with Singapore as home base while covering Japan, India, and Australia / New Zealand.

The pedagogy is rooted in interdisciplinary formation: a combined undergraduate degree at the University of Pittsburgh spanning Neuroscience, History, Political Science, and Philosophy; an MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics (Distinction); an MBA from IESE; and a return through Economic History at the LSE more than twenty years later.
