A senior member of the University’s leadership team for more than a decade, Haynie is responsible for a diverse portfolio of academic programs, innovation initiatives, and administrative functions. Dr. Haynie is also the founder and Executive Director of Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans & Military Families (IVMF), the nation’s first interdisciplinary academic institute chartered to inform and advance the policy, economic, and wellness concerns of America’s veterans and military-connected families. In 2018, Haynie was named a University Professor, the most senior and selective academic rank awarded to faculty at Syracuse University.

Widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading scholars in the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation, and strategy, Haynie serves on the editorial boards of the most prestigious academic journals in his field.

He is routinely asked to provide counsel to private- and public-sector leaders on issues related to entrepreneurship, innovation, and military-connected families. In 2013, Haynie was appointed to serve as Chairman of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Federal Advisory Committee on Veterans’ Employment and Training. In 2015, the White House asked Haynie to serve as vice chairman, and later chairman, of a Presidential Task Force, chartered to set the course for long-term reform at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Among several other external appointments, Haynie currently serves as a member of the George W. Bush Institute Advisory Council, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs Federal Advisory Committee on Veterans and Higher Education, and on the Board of Directors for Crouse Hospital and the Crouse Health System.

Haynie has received numerous awards and recognitions for his scholarship, teaching, and public-sector engagement. In 2013, Dr. Haynie’s innovative work on behalf of veterans was the subject of a feature story by the CBS News program 60 Minutes. In 2020, Haynie was inducted into the Advancing Diversity Hall of Honor for his commitment to equality and inclusion. That same year, Time magazine recognized Haynie as one of 16 individuals working toward creating a more equal America. Dr. Haynie has also been recognized by the prestigious HillVets100, as among the nation’s 100 most influential military veterans. In 2021, Haynie was awarded Syracuse University’s highest honor, the Chancellor’s Medal, for his leadership of Syracuse University’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
