INSEAD, the international business school with campuses in Fontainebleau, France, Singapore and Abu Dhabi, announced last week that two new deans, of faculty and research, officially assumed their posts at the start of the New Year. Appointed to their positions in September 2009, Peter Zemsky will now step into his role as dean of faculty and Ilian Mihov will step into his role as dean of research.
Zemsky, a professor of strategy and innovation, will replace Anil Gaba, the previous dean of faculty. A leading expert on economics-based approaches to strategy, Zemsky also serves as the head of the INSEAD Strategy Area and oversees the school’s multi-million Euro R&D budget.
Mihov, as the new dean of research, will oversee INSEAD’s research agenda and help drive new areas of focus. Mihov teaches macroeconomics and econometrics across the MBA, EMBA, PhD and other programs at INSEAD. His research focuses primarily on the fields of monetary and fiscal policies, economic growth and political economy.
“At INSEAD, we are deeply committed to providing the highest quality faculty and research to all of our programme participants,” INSEAD Dean J. Frank Brown said in a statement announcing the new appointments. “‘We welcome both Peter and Ilian to their posts as we enter 2010. Their background and experience will undoubtedly lead faculty development and research into the next decade of success,” he added.
