Peter Salovey, President Emeritus of Yale and Father of Emotional Intelligence

​The Yale Table is honored to host Peter Salovey, President Emeritus of Yale University.

​A distinguished psychologist and academic leader, President Salovey served as Yale’s 23rd president from 2013 to 2024.

​Before serving as president, he spent decades on Yale’s faculty and is widely recognized as one of the pioneering scholars behind the concept of emotional intelligence, a framework that has reshaped how we understand leadership, decision-making and human performance.

​This conversation will explore emotional intelligence not as theory, but as a core leadership advantage.

​In an era where CEOs and founders operate under constant pressure, uncertainty and scale, emotional intelligence has become a defining differentiator.

​10 seats available.
Selected students will cover the cost of dinner.
