A top-ranked Benelux university was seeking a new Director to lead its Centre for Academic Continuing Education. The brief called for a bilingual academic leader with an international reputation, strong research credentials and the experience to integrate the Centre fully into the university.
With 7,000 students, 2,500 staff and annual revenues of €350 million, the institution needed someone who could shape long-term strategy and build external relationships. McLean ran a global search, focusing on experts in Education, Psychology and Lifelong Learning.
Two final candidates were approved for appointment following a thorough selection process. Contract negotiations are underway with the top choice, who brings a rare mix of academic excellence and collaborative leadership.
