Graham Ward
Adjunct Professor of Organisational Behaviour

He is the academic director of a number of company specific executive programs at INSEAD including HSF, Unicredit, Pernod Ricard, Essilor Luxxotica, AB Foods, and Allen and Overy among others. He was also a leadership development practice director at the INSEAD Global Leadership Centre for 15 years. He has worked as visiting faculty at Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden, Moscow Higher School of Economics and ESMT in Berlin.
Graham’s expertise is in leadership, high performance teams, group dynamics, team dysfunction and change. His doctoral dissertation, published in 2013 is a theory of small group executive coaching using a psychodynamic approach.
Outside of INSEAD, he specializes in coaching C-suite executives and teams. He consults around team dysfunctions, team and organisational development, and communication. Privately he has worked with senior executives at McKinsey, Siemens, Bristol Myers Squibb, AXA, Aviva, Georgia Capital, HSBC, Tesco, AstraZeneca, Deutsche Bank, E.On, UBS, Shell and BP among others.
Graham Ward’s experience as a professor, leadership consultant and CEO Advisor is grounded in an extensive business career in multinational organisations. Graham spent 22 years in finance, 16 of which working for Goldman Sachs, where for seven years he co-led the European Equity business. In 2000, Graham spearheaded an initiative to introduce a Global Leadership Development office that he led for three years, plus led the Diversity initiative division-wide, created the Women’s Committee and other minority networks.
In his work, Graham helps leaders to address behavioral blind spots, develop strengths and eliminate destructive leadership characteristics, thereby enhancing performance through insights and development derived from a combination of the behavioral sciences and action learning.
Graham combines a vigorous coaching style with a supportive framework. His coaching approach is both to encourage the client to reflect while at the same time challenging assumptions and asking the questions that the client may have avoided asking themselves. Graham uses his education in organisational psychology to look holistically at the client, from their abilities to manage transversal, subordinate and superior roles, to the climate the leader creates in his organisation and team. Graham helps the client to push at the boundaries of their comfort zone, to enhance leadership skills in line with their values and ensure greater effectiveness and higher performance for the leader and the organisation.
Graham received his PhD from the economics faculty of the Vrije University in Amsterdam in 2014. He holds an M.Sc and Diploma from HEC/INSEAD in Clinical Organisational Psychology. In 1994 he received a Diploma of Investment Management from the London Business School. He is licensed to use the MBTI, Leadership Circle/GELI/LAQ/Personality Audit and Cultural Audit.
Graham was a contributing author to the books Coach and Couch, The Psychology of Making Better Leaders published in 2007 and The Coaching Kaleidoscope published in 2010. He authored the academic paper Towards Executive Change 2008 and The Use of Transitional Space 2009.
Graham lives in London and travels extensively throughout the world, at last count having visited over 70 countries including Syria and North Korea.

Faculty
Ana Lueneburger
Visiting Faculty, INSEAD
Dr. Ana Lueneburger has been visiting faculty at INSEAD, Columbia University, and the University of St Gallen and is a founding Fellow of Harvard’s Institute of Coaching. She is a Master Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, a distinction held by less than four percent of coaches worldwide. Her partnerships with C-suite, board and founder clients have been captured in a range of publications, including The International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and The Economist. In 2023, together with one of her C-suite clients, she co-authored the book “Unfiltered – the CEO and the Coach”, published by Penguin Business Press. Complimenting her over 20-year business career with Danone, The Boston Consulting Group and as founder of the global coaching boutique Fox meets Owl Limited, Ana is also a fully licenced integrative psychotherapist. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the International Positive Psychology Association. Ana is also trained in a wide range of psychometric assessments, has received her Negotiation and Mediation Certificate from Columbia University and is a trained court-appointed mediator. Her blend of corporate, coaching and psychology offers a unique opportunity for clients to move beyond the surface of mere behavioural and transitional change. Guided by a safe pair of hands, leaders are invited to lean into the unknown, to understand the root causes for why they may be feeling unfulfilled or stuck, and to embark on the challenging yet rewarding experience of transformative change. Moving off auto-pilot, leaders begin to make intentional choices. It is here that they can explore ways on how to lead from a place of authenticity, how to break free from old belief systems and how to become the best version of themselves. Ana has partnered with senior leaders from a range of global corporates (e.g. Google, J.P. Morgan), not-for-profits (e.g. The World Economic Forum, UNICEF), consulting (e.g. McKinsey, Bain), law (e.g. Allen & Overy, Linklaters), PE and asset management (e.g. Blackstone, Brookfield), universities (e.g. University of Cambridge, Yale), family businesses and founder-led start-ups (e.g. Marcellus, Think Investments), as well as mission-driven organisations including scale-ups (e.g. Echoing Green, Patagonia). Her coaching philosophy is built on leveraging strengths: this is where leaders feel energised, see the steepest learning curves, and can achieve sustainable results. Ana received her PhD in business from the University of St. Gallen in 1997 and was a post-doctoral research fellow at INSEAD. Her tenet is making ‘other people matter’ and she is currently researching to what extent strong relationships impact positive, lasting change. A connector with a curious mindset, Ana has lived and worked in five countries and is passionate about travel, Bhutan as her most recent adventure. She works in English, German and French and resides in London and New York.
