Message from the President

Today’s complex global challenges require business leaders who have a deep understanding of people and companies, a broad and deep vision of paths forward and the knowledge, skills, and mindset to improve our firms and society.

Our belief, and that of IESE Business School whom we have chosen to support from the United Kingdom, is that effective and principled management education is critical to developing such leaders; leaders who can have a deep impact on other people, their businesses, and society through their professionalism, integrity, and spirit of service.

World-class management education emerges and develops when leading, committed academics are connected with young leaders of high potential who share a concern for society’s challenges, who place a value on people at the individual level and in communities, and who see business as a force for good.

The IESE Foundation UK is pleased to support projects that help this educational endeavor, by funding faculty development, making grants for research to develop new insights for business and society and to keep faculty at the leading edge of their fields and awarding scholarships for students of diverse backgrounds and outstanding academic and professional credentials and who share IESE values. We also support campus development projects so that this education is achieved in a professional and innovative manner.

We count on the long tradition of generosity in the United Kingdom and the strong and loyal cadre of alumni and friends of IESE Business School. Our hope is to shape the current world for the better and to leave a legacy for the next generation, understanding that each grant awarded is an investment in the future, made possible by your support.

We are grateful for the good work done by Fundación International IESE, which holds the IESE Endowment and makes scholarship and research grants from endowment proceeds.  We have chosen to support their projects through raising awareness of their grant programs in the US and through fundraising for them.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to express my gratitude for the generosity, support, and trust of so many alumni, friends of IESE and companies, who together make the work of the IESE Foundation UK possible.
