It is a great privilege and honour to be the Chair of the Academic Board of IBES.

The Academic Board has an important role to play in raising IBES's standards through setting the strategic academic direction, ensuring accountability and monitoring and evaluating the academic performance of the University.

I hope to work with you in creating IBES as a university that offers educational excellence, underpinned by ethics and ethos of a utopian as we aim to do this through an academic curriculum that inspires thinking and building on the strengths of each individual.

IBES faces a wide variety of exciting new challenges. I have no doubt that with the combined experience, skills and knowledge of our Academic Board, leadership team and staff, we will ensure the very best to all members of the school
