INSEAD Dean to Quit March 1

Following ill health, Dipak Jain will quit dean of INSEAD as of March 1st, retaining a role as marketing professor at the international business school with campuses in France, Singapore and Abu Dhabi.

Two of INSEAD’s three deputy deans, Ilian Mihov and Peter Zemsky, will act as interim deans until a permanent appointment is made, a process that could take up to a year.

Jain was appointed INSEAD dean just two years ago, in March 2011, replacing outgoing dean Frank Brown. Prior to his INSEAD appointment, Jain served for a decade as dean of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University after building an illustrious career as a professor in that school’s marketing department. 

INSEAD had hoped that Jain, who was credited with helping expand Kellogg’s international reach, would help INSEAD further strengthen its global presence and attract more students from the developing world.
