On this episode of Deans Counsel (originally published on 6 January 2023), moderators Ken Kring and Dave Ikenberry speak with Francois Ortalo-Magne, the ninth Dean of the London Business School, a position he has held since 2017.

They discuss the unique challenges and financial responsibility of being Dean and CEO of a stand-along business school; working with a fiduciary Board; discovering connections between new constituencies and leveraging alumni expertise; and Francois' approach to philanthropy in Europe.
