During this time, ESMT also entered the Financial Times ranking of Top 100 full-time MBA programs, successfully launched an international Master’s in Management program, and expanded the campus in Berlin to accommodate a growing student body.
The president’s appointment follows a rigorous process defined in the charter of the school. The nomination committee, comprised of Dr. Werner Zedelius, member of the management board of Allianz SE and chairman of the ESMT supervisory board; Prof. Stanley Baiman, chairman of the ESMT academic board and William H. Lawrence Professor Emeritus of Accounting, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; and Dean of Faculty Catalina Stefanescu-Cuntze, a member of the academic committee at ESMT, made a unanimous recommendation to the supervisory board.
Dr. Zedelius said, “The successes of recent years are proof that the reputation and reach of ESMT are constantly growing. I look forward to continuing on this path together with Jörg Rocholl and Georg Garlichs.”
“Jörg Rocholl is a proven leader and a renowned scholar. With his continued focus on top quality research and world-class management education, he is poised to take the business school to the highest level of excellence,” stressed Stanley Baiman.
