Provost Message:

Welcome to the California Institute of Advanced Management!


As Provost, I am thrilled to introduce you to CIAM, a vibrant educational community rooted in the enduring philosophy of Peter Drucker, the Father of Modern Management. His belief that “Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes” drives our mission to provide you with practical, forward-thinking knowledge—tools you can apply immediately and refine as the world evolves.


Our faculty are distinguished professionals who bring a wealth of industry experience into their teaching, blending real-world insights with Drucker’s principles to prepare you for impactful leadership and lasting organizational success. Following Drucker’s philosophy, we focus on identifying and building upon each student’s strengths, believing that individuals make their greatest contributions when they leverage their unique abilities. This approach not only elevates individual performance but also enhances team morale and productivity.


We understand that many of our students juggle demanding personal and professional commitments, so our programs are structured to fit seamlessly into your life. CIAM offers a flexible, comprehensive learning experience that accommodates your schedule without compromising depth or quality. Here, you are not just a student—you are a valued member of our learning community. Your perspectives and experiences will enrich our discussions, fostering a collaborative environment where every voice contributes to our shared journey toward growth and leadership.

At CIAM, we believe that education is not only about learning but about forging a bridge to your future success. I invite you to join us on this exciting path, where your ideas and contributions are valued, and your potential is nurtured.


We look forward to welcoming you to CIAM!


Warm regards,



Dr. Jack Paduntin

Provost / Vice President of Academic Affairs
