Leeds University Business School receives external guidance and support from its International Advisory Board (IAB). The experience and expertise of our IAB members reflect our international aspirations, our connectivity with private and public sector, and our desire to provide students with an inspiring and world class learning experience.

The International Advisory Board supports the Business School by:

  • Providing independent external advice, through its board meetings and engagement with projects and new initiatives.
  • Assisting in developing corporate and institutional relationships nationally and internationally
  • Helping to increase contributions of practitioners into research and learning and teaching, including direct contact with our academic staff and our students.

IAB members have experience across industry sectors, international markets and functional disciplines. They are all passionate about management education and Leeds contribution and brand in the international market.
