News from ESSEC Campus

A New Dean for the ESSEC MBA

Dr. Nicolas Mottis has been appointed Dean of the ESSEC MBA, ESSEC Business School's flagship program, as of 1 October 2002. He replaces Dr. Christian Koenig, the former dean, who held the post for four years.

Nicolas Motifs joined ESSEC as an assistant professor in 1995, after having held a number of positions in companies from 1988 to 1995, for example in the Marketing department with Renault Switzerland, then as project manager in the Information Systems department of Banque Nationale de Paris, then with Bertelsmann. He was promoted to the rank of Professor in September 2000. Additionally, in 1996-97, he was in charge of the project which resulted in ESSEC's successful effort to become the first institution outside North America to be accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Dr. Mottis obtained his doctorate from Ecole Polytechnique and a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches degree (qualification to supervise research) from the University of Paris Dauphine.
