King's Business School Advisory Council
The King’s Business School Advisory Council provides comment, support and advice on strategic issues relevant to the present work and future direction of the School.
It advises on advancing the School’s local and global reputation; the development of strong relationships with business and other external organisations; and to support the School in navigating a complex external environment – whether shifting geopolitical trends or the evolving demands of the student recruitment market.
The School’s Council operates at board level to provide strategic oversight and advice, and is closely linked to the College’s governance through the Executive Dean. The College’s Chief Financial Officer is a member of the Board, ensuring financial oversight and alignment, and the Senior Vice President (Academic) serves as an ex officio member.
Its members include a range of senior executives from national and international business, alongside representatives of the student body and the senior management of King’s Business School.
