Dr Ioannis C. Moutzouris, who chairs the Honorary Visiting Appointments Committee, said the links underline the School’s ambition to build lasting partnerships around the City of London, surrounding boroughs and globally – and across a range of industries and sectors.
He said: “Bayes Business School has its roots deep in the City of London and we have dynamic partnerships with a range of City institutions, public sector bodies and other organisations around the UK and the globe. Our network of more than 100 Honorary Visiting Appointees embody that spirit of partnership between academics, students and the business world. The HVAs bring unparalleled expertise from across the global business spectrum and support students through guest lectures, research projects, mentoring and job opportunities.
