Peter Zemsky and Ilian Mihov take their posts in 2010
INSEAD, the leading international business school, today announced that Peter Zemsky and Ilian Mihov will begin their appointments as Dean of Faculty and Dean of Research, respectively, in January 2010. Both Zemsky and Mihov were appointed as the new Deans in September 2009; however, they will officially take their posts at the start of the New Year.
‘At INSEAD, we are deeply committed to providing the highest quality faculty and research to all of our programme participants,’ said J. Frank Brown, Dean of INSEAD. ‘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.’
Zemsky will transition into Anil Gaba’s role as Dean of Faculty. As the Eli-Lilly Chaired Professor of Strategy and Innovation at INSEAD, Zemsky currently serves as the head of the INSEAD Strategy Area and is responsible for overseeing the school’s multi-million Euro R&D budget. He is a leading expert on economics-based approaches to strategy and has written on a wide variety of topics including the sustainability of competitive advantage, disruptive technologies, time-based competition and the accumulation of intangible resources.
Mihov will work closely with Zemsky in his new role as Dean of Research in which he will oversee INSEAD’s research agenda and help drive new areas of focus. Mihov is Professor of Economics at INSEAD and serves as the Novartis Chaired Professor of Management and Environment. He teaches macroeconomics and econometrics across the MBA, EMBA, PhD and various EDP programmes. Mihov’s research is primarily in the fields of monetary and fiscal policies, economic growth and political economy.
