During the search period, ASB was privileged to have the executive oversight and support of Professor Jacob Cohen from MIT Sloan, who has served since 1 July 2022 as Interim Chief Executive, President and Dean. Under his leadership, ASB has continued to deliver its management degree programs, and executive education and research activities. Notably, Professor Cohen also oversaw the redesign of ASB's new 1-year MBA program. His commitment and leadership during this transition period are strongly indicative of ASB and MIT Sloan's enduring collaboration. We wish Professor Cohen the very best as he continues in his role as Senior Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Master's Programs at MIT Sloan, and look forward to his continuing engagements with ASB.
As an educator of global caliber, Professor Sarma will be a tremendous asset to the School and will chart new pathways for ASB in becoming the envisioned premier school of business that contributes to the development of principled and transformative leaders in Asia and beyond.
