With more than 200 professors, the NEOMA Business School faculty represents its strategic competence base. These are the people that every day create and communicate through all their courses and, more generally to the School’s broader community, new knowledge and management practices. As in previous years, we used different key criteria to select our new recruits.

“We systematically look for professors who combine expert knowledge and  teaching ability, with the aim of offering our students the best learning experience possible while simultaneously enriching the professional world with new practices that are relevant to the modern environment,” explains Frank Bostyn. “Their international experience and their proximity to the business world also make a difference.”

For the 2016 new school year, the School has recruited 19 outstanding academics. With expertise in the School’s chosen specialised fields, these new professors significantly strengthen our faculty. This top-level recruitment, in a highly competitive international academic environment, illustrates our School’s dynamism and attractiveness, following on from the recruitment of 15 new first-class international professors in September 2015….
