Following this announcement, the Nominations and Compensation Committee has launched a selection process to identify the candidate best suited to build on the School’s momentum and lead its continued strategic development, under the supervision of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors would like to commend Léon Laulusa for his dedication and leadership since taking the helm of ESCP Business School in 2023, as well as for his contribution to the School’s development and international reputation through the various academic and executive positions he has held since joining the institution in 1999.
