IMD business school’s supervisory board announced this week the appointment of Jean-François Manzoni as the new president of IMD business school. Professor Manzoni, currently the Shell Chair for Human Resources and Organizational at INSEAD in Singapore, will serve a five-year term beginning January 1, 2017.

Beginning in the summer of 2015, the President search committee comprised of three Supervisory Board members, two faculty members, and a staff representative evaluated internal and external candidates, concluding that Jean-François Manzoni is the best suited candidate to lead IMD for the next five years and beyond. Manzoni comments, “Being invited to lead an organization as successful as IMD is a great honor as well as a real challenge. The executive education world is facing increasingly crowded, global and intense competition. We have to keep innovating and finding new ways to create lasting value for executives and organizations. Building on the strong foundation handed over by my predecessor and his team, I will put all my skills, energy and passion into furthering IMD’s success.”

Professor Manzoni succeeds Dominique Turpin, who has served as IMD president since 2010. During this time, IMD has expanded its global footprint, especially in Asia, including establishing the Executive Learning Center in Singapore. Professor Turpin says, “I congratulate Jean-François Manzoni on his appointment and I wish him all the best in his exciting, yet challenging new role. I am proud to leave the Presidency with IMD in a position of strength and I will be happy to continue to serve our business school in another capacity.”
