HHL – Leipzig Graduate School of Management is to have a new management team: yesterday (Wednesday), the school's governing bodies elected Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, the former Minister for Science, Innovation, Research and Technology in North Rhine-Westphalia and Federal Deputy Chairman of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), to be the new Dean of HHL. Dr. Axel Baisch, currently Managing Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, will be the new Chancellor. Both newcomers will take up their posts on 1 April 2011.
Both the Supervisory Board and the Shareholders' Meeting of Germany's oldest management school were unanimous in their decisions yesterday. Prior to the vote, the Senate had appointed Professor Pinkwart to the Chair of Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship.
"We are delighted with the decisions and are convinced that our school will experience a further positive development with the appointment of Professor Pinkwart and Dr. Baisch," said Dr. Tessen von Heydebreck, Chairman of HHL's Supervisory Board. "HHL is fortunate to have attracted Professor Pinkwart, a personality who has comprehensive experience and success as an academic and education policy specialist, and who also has excellent contacts in the business, political and social worlds."
Professor Dr. Andreas Pinkwart (50) has been Chairman of the Free Democratic Party in North Rhine-Westphalia since 2002 and Deputy Chairman of the federal party since 2003. On the back of successful local and European election campaigns, he led the FDP back into government in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2005 after 25 years in opposition. He was then Minister for Science, Innovation, Research and Technology and Deputy Prime Minister in the CDU/FDP coalition for five years. During his period in office, Professor Pinkwart gave higher education institutes in North Rhine-Westphalia more autonomy, established a grant system for gifted students and enabled universities and colleges to introduce tuition fees. He was a
member of the German Bundestag from 2002 to 2005, and has been a member of the North Rhine-Westphalian state parliament since July.
Professor Pinkwart earned his doctorate at the University of Bonn in 1991 before becoming Professor for Public Management at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences in 1994. In 1998, he accepted a professorship at the University of Siegen, where he was Professor for Management for small and medium-sized enterprises. His main research focus is on entrepreneurship and turnaround management. Professor Pinkwart is married with two children and lives with his family in Alfter near Bonn.
Dr. Axel Baisch (45) has been Managing Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin since 2006. He gained a doctorate in Law in Freiburg and was Managing Director of the Staatstheater Nuremburg for six years. In 2008, he was elected chairman of the group of Managing Directors within the Conference of German-speaking Opera Houses. Originally from Lübeck, he is currently completing an Executive MBA at Birmingham Business School.
Until the end of March 2011, HHL will continue to be led by Prof. Dr. Arnis Vilks, who was Dean from 2000 to 2005, and the current Chancellor Dr. Judith Marquardt, who will then leave HHL of her own accord.
