This week, we are featuring a quote from a friend of the Foundation, the Dean of London Business School, François Ortalo-Magné. 

François Ortalo-Magné is an academic and researcher who currently serves as the Dean of London Business School. He grew up in France in the Pyrénées and on the family farm in the Lot Valley, before training as an agricultural engineer. He holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Minnesota, and his first academic appointment was at the London School of Economics.

Before his appointment at London Business School, Ortalo-Magné was the Albert O. Nicholas Dean and Robert E. Wangard Professor of Real Estate at the Wisconsin School of Business. He has served as the Dean of London Business School and as its Chief Executive Officer since 2017, and his appointment was recently renewed for an additional term. 

In the corporate world, Ortalo-Magné serves on the board of directors of the Graduate Management Admission Council and on the International Advisory Board of British American Business.

Ortalo-Magné was recently featured in the inaugural episode of The Leadership Lab.

In conversation with our very own CEO, Susanna Kempe, François Ortalo-Magné explored what it means to be a good leader and the complicated concept of leadership.
