LBS Picks New Dean
When it came time for the London Business School to appoint a new dean, a ten-month global search turned up the right candidate close to home. Late last year, the school announced that it had picked London-based management consultant Robin Buchanan (MBA ’79), senior partner in the UK of Bain & Company. Buchanan replaces Laura Tyson (who once taught at HBS). Tyson resigned to return to teach at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, where she had previously served as dean.
Commenting on his appointment, Buchanan told the Times (November 8, 2006): “London Business School is an outstanding asset, not only to this city and this country, but also to business around the globe.” He expressed eagerness to help the school deliver on its mission to become the preeminent global business educator.
Buchanan is the seventh dean (the fifth, HBS professor John Quelch, preceded Tyson) in the school’s 42-year history. Last year, LBS graduated over 800 MBAs, Executive MBAs, Masters of Finance, and Ph.D.’s from more than seventy countries.
