ESCP Business School instates new overseers for its London campus strategic development
ESCP Business School has strengthened its London Board of Trustees with the addition of three new members: Professor Julia Clarke, Hoby Buvat, and Nicolas Motelay. These appointments follow the conclusion of terms for outgoing trustees Laurence Milsted, Laurent Feniou, and Dr. Rodney Eastwood.
Professor Julia Clarke, a seasoned academic with extensive leadership experience from roles at Middlesex University, the University of Leeds, and the University of Wolverhampton, brings her academic expertise to the board.
Hoby Buvat, an ESCP alumnus, currently serves as Co-Head of Capital Markets for Deutsche Bank in the EMEA region. His appointment is part of ESCP's strategy to enhance the London campus, aiming to foster community engagement and support small businesses.
Nicolas Motelay, another ESCP alumnus, is a Managing Director at New End Associates and has a strong reputation in entrepreneurial support and fundraising. His involvement is expected to support ESCP's strategic goals, particularly in the areas of innovation and sustainability.
The appointments reflect ESCP's ongoing commitment to fostering community engagement and supporting small businesses. Lord David Gold, the chairman of the board of trustees at the London campus, expressed appreciation for the new trustees' exceptional talent.
The new trustees bring a diverse range of expertise to the School, which is vital as ESCP embarks on its new Strategic Plan. The School's Bold and United 2026 to 2030 Strategic Plan outlines ambitions to grow its programme portfolio with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity, innovation, and sustainability.
The strategy also includes objectives to broaden access to education for diverse student groups, embrace digital transformation, and deliver measurable societal impact through projects like the Blue Factory.
The appointments coincide with ESCP's London campus being granted full UK Degree Awarding Powers. The school's approach to education increasingly prioritizes sustainability, digital innovation, and broader social and economic impact.
These appointments mark an important milestone as ESCP embarks on its new Strategic Plan and launches new projects and initiatives on campus. The new trustees are poised to help guide ESCP through an evolving academic landscape, ensuring that the school remains well placed to deliver lasting value through business education.
Education and self-development are integral aspects of ESCP's new Strategic Plan, as the new trustees, namely Professor Julia Clarke, Hoby Buvat, and Nicolas Motelay, bring diverse skills from finance, business, and technology that will support the school's objectives in areas such as innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation.
