INSEAD sees the Hub as more than just an educational center. It will be a place for establishing new contacts through events organized in conjunction with corporate partners, alumni, and visiting faculty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to INSEAD Dean, Ilian Mihov, \u201cFrom our origins in postwar Europe, INSEAD has distinguished itself in bringing together diverse people and perspectives to drive learning and build bridges as we\u00a0develop responsible business leaders<\/a>. Coming to North America opens an important new chapter in this journey. We are deeply grateful to our many alumni donors who made possible the transformation of this historic building into a state-of-the-art facility for learning and exchange.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Peter Zemsky, Dean of Innovation oversaw the development of INSEAD\u2019s San Francisco Hub for Business Innovation. \u201cAs tech innovation goes global, business leaders everywhere need to rapidly transform their strategies and organizations. At the same time, tech leaders need to adapt to the drastically shifting expectations about the impact of their products on societies worldwide. INSEAD is uniquely placed to facilitate this learning through our global faculty and network.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
