In keeping with the Odyssey 2024 plan, ESSCA intends to support the strong development of its faculty, which should include nearly 180 research professors in 2024.
To this end, the school will soon welcome its new Dean of Faculty, Béatrice COLLIN.
A graduate of the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris, Béatrice Collin has a triple background in management, international economics and political science. She subsequently pursued her doctoral studies in conjunction with the Department of Economics and the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University, NY.
Béatrice Collin is Professor of Strategy and International Management at ESCP Europe, where she was Dean of the Faculty from 2014 to 2017.
She has also taught at the University of Paris II and was a visiting professor at Cornell University (US) and Cass Business School (UK). Since 2016, Béatrice Collin has been a member of the Board of Directors of the École des Arts et Métiers Paris Tech (ENSAM).
An expert in international economics, her teaching and research focus on international companies, their strategy, their governance and the distinctive features of their management, particularly in relation to their cultural diversity. She works with large companies such as L’Oréal (on which she has written three books, e.g. “Le modèle L’Oréal”), Crédit Agricole, Kraft Jacobs Suchard, Carrefour, but also with medium-sized companies that are successfully conducting their globalisation process.
She is a member, reviewer and session chair at the Academy Of Management, a member of EIASM and a founding member of EURAM. Béatrice Collin received the distinction of Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite in 2017.
I am delighted to join ESSCA, a school that is strong in its dynamism and human values, and I am proud to become Dean of a high-quality, enthusiastic faculty that is close to its students and has built up a genuine national and international reputation in research. It is therefore with great pleasure that I will join the school’s management team in September to contribute to the success of this wonderful school and to work together, today and tomorrow, to meet the challenges of the world of higher education in management.
Béatrice Collin, the new Dean of Faculty.
