INSEAD has appointed J. Frank Brown as its next Dean. Brown, currently the Global Leader of Advisory Services for PricewaterhouseCoopers, will bring to INSEAD over 26 years of experience working in international markets, building leadership programs and heading client service-oriented businesses. Brown will serve as the school's second American Dean since its creation 45 years ago, succeeding Gabriel Hawawini, the Dean since 2000. The appointment of an external business executive as Dean marks a major change for INSEAD which has traditionally filled the position internally, from its own faculty.

"Taking advantage of the worldwide market is no longer a luxury for companies, it is a necessity," said Brown. "I have spent the better part of my career working with business units, colleagues and clients based in Europe, Asia and beyond, where the paradigms for doing business differ dramatically from one region to the next. INSEAD's international perspective and multicultural environment is what first attracted me to become involved in the school. The fact that it has so fully and uniquely embraced the needs of a diverse and global marketplace is why I am so excited to be INSEAD's next Dean."

Brown has been a part of the broader INSEAD community since 2000, serving most recently as a member of the INSEAD Board and as Chairman of the school's U.S. Council. As Dean, he will be charged with leading an institution with a rapidly expanding global footprint. Under the tenure of Gabriel Hawawini, the school expanded beyond its European roots developing a comprehensive, fully connected campus in Asia in 2000. In addition to the dual-campus model, the school's alliance with Wharton, formed in 2001, has enabled faculty to conduct research, and students to take courses, across three continents.

"Dean Hawawini made the concept of a business school for the world a reality," continued Brown. "As Dean, I will continue to champion that vision and the unique value it provides to organisations that recognize the importance of developing the world's next generation of leaders: skilled transcultural executives."

Brown's tenure as Dean will begin in July 2006. He retires at the end of June from PricewaterhouseCoopers where, during his 26 year career, he led the firm's Assurance and Business Advisory Services, Transactions Services and Corporate Development practices. Most recently, he headed the firm's $3.5 billion Advisory Services operating unit.

"We chose Frank Brown to lead INSEAD because he embodies the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of this school," said Cees J.A. van Lede, Chairman, INSEAD Board of Directors. "Frank's long career is indicative of someone willing to take risks and pioneer initiatives that span many geographies. His tenure at PricewaterhouseCoopers is also a testament to his fundamental belief in the value of developing the next generation of world business leaders. He will be a great advocate for our model, a critical bridge to the business community and, like Dean Hawawini, a strong visionary for our future."

"INSEAD is the one true business school for the world," said Gabriel Hawawini, Dean of INSEAD. "That belief is as much shaped by our student body and faculty as by our global locations. Our vision is a school with no dominant culture - where students and faculty contribute different perspectives to help shape the kind of dialogue sparked only by true diversity. Having worked with Frank over the last few years, I know that he will add yet another important perspective to that dialogue."

Brown is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut State Societies of Certified Public Accountants. He is Chairman Emeritus of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of New York and member of both the Iona College Board of Trustees and Bucknell University Business Advisory Board. Brown received his B.S.B.A. from Bucknell University and attended the Wharton Business School's Advanced Management Program.

欧洲工商管理学院(INSEAD)已经任命J. Frank Brown担任其下一任院长。Brown目前担任普华永道公司(PricewaterhouseCoopers)全球咨询服务部的领导人，将会为欧洲工商管理学院带来超过26年的在国际市场工作，创建领导力计划以及领导以客户服务导向的业务的经验。在接任在2000年担任院长的Gabriel Hawawini之后，Brown将会成为学院自45年前建院以来的第二位美籍院长。任命来自外界的一位企业高级管理人来担任院长对于欧洲工商管理学院来说是一项重大改革，欧洲工商管理学院在传统上只从学院教职员工中选拔院长。

Brown说道：“从国际市场上受益对于企业来说不再是一种奢侈，而成为了必需品。我职业生涯中的最棒的部分就是与欧洲、亚洲以及其他地区的企业、同事和客户进行合作，这些地区的企业经营模式存在着巨大的差别。欧洲工商管理学院的国际视角与多文化环境是最吸引我来担任院长的地方。它能够充分而又独一无二的满足不同的全球市场的需求，这一事实让我对于担任欧洲工商管理学院下一任院长感到非常兴奋。”

Brown自从2000年以来就已经成为了欧洲工商管理学院集体中的一员，他最近还担任了欧洲工商管理学院理事会理事以及学院美国理事会的主席。作为院长，他将会负责领导学校以及正在快速发展的全球校区。在Gabriel Hawawini的任期中，学院扩大了欧洲的老校区，并于2000年在亚洲建立了一座与老校区联系紧密的综合性校区。学院除了采用双校区模式之外，还于2001年与沃顿商学院(Wharton)建立了联盟关系，这使得教师能够跨三大洲完成研究工作，而学生则能够跨三大洲选修课程。

Brown继续说道：“Hawawini校长针对现实世界提出了商学院理念。作为院长，我将会继续支持这一观点以及其为组织带来的无与伦比的价值，并且认识到其对于培养下一代全球领导人的重要性：熟练的跨文化高级管理人员。”

Brown的院长任期将会从2006年7月开始。他将会在6月份从普华永道退休，在其26年的职业生涯当中，他领导着这家公司的保障与业务咨询服务、交易服务与公司发展业务。在最近，他担任着这家公司的价值35亿美元的咨询服务事业部的领导人。

欧洲工商管理学院董事会主席Cees J.A. van Lede说道：“我们选择Frank Brown来领导欧洲工商管理学院是因为他具备本学院的创新精神与企业家精神。Frank的长期职业生涯显示其愿意承担风险，并且愿意跨多地区提出首创方案。他在普华永道公司的职业生涯也证明其完全相信培养下一代全球企业领导人所具备的价值。他将会成为学院建院模式的卓越的倡导者以及连接企业界的关键性桥梁，而且还会像是Hawawini院长一样将会成为个性坚强的未来梦想家。”

欧洲工商管理学院院长Gabriel Hawawini说道：“对于全世界来说，欧洲工商管理学院是一所真正的商学院。我们全球各地的学生与教员都坚信这一点。我们的目标是成为一家没有强势文化的学院——在这里学生与教员能够从不同视角做出贡献，从而进行只有真正的多样化才能激发的对话。我与Frank在前几年曾经共事过，我们知道他将能为对话增加一个重要的新视角。”

Brown是美国注册会计师协会、纽约注册会计师协会、新泽西注册会计师协会和康涅狄格州注册会计师协会会员。他还是纽约多发性硬化学会(Multiple Sclerosis Society of New York)名誉主席，同时还担任着爱奥那学院(Iona College)理事会理事与巴克纳尔大学(Bucknell University)商业咨询委员会委员等职务。Brown从巴克纳尔大学获得了外科学士学位，并且曾经就读于沃顿商学院的高级管理专业。
