ESCP Business School appoints Professor Marie Taillard as UK Dean

As L’Oréal Professor of Creativity Marketing and former UK Head of Faculty, Professor Taillard played an important role in advancing ESCP’s reputation for innovative pedagogy by bridging academia and practice.

Recently shortlisted for THE UK’s Most Innovative Teacher of the Year award, she brings extensive academic leadership, innovative teaching methods, and proactive industry engagement to the role, contributing additional breadth of perspective to the School’s leadership as ESCP embarks on its ambitious ‘Bold & United’ institution-wide strategy.

She has held several senior leadership positions since joining ESCP’s permanent faculty in 2007, including UK Associate Dean of Executive Education, London Campus Head of Faculty, and Director of the MSc in Marketing & Creativity, a programme she founded in 2009 and which is currently ranked 3rd worldwide by QS.

It is a pleasure to welcome Professor Marie Taillard as Dean of ESCP London Campus. Marie brings a wealth of academic experience, an international outlook, and a deep understanding of the School, and I have no doubt that she will build on the strong momentum of the London Campus in recent years.

Lord David Gold
