Renowned political scientist Professor Anne Tiernan has accepted the position of Dean (Engagement), while the current of the Department of Accounting, Finance and Economics, Professor Fabrizio Carmignani, has been announced as the new Dean (Academic).
Professor Tiernan is currently the Director of the Policy Innovation Hub and works within the School of Government and International Relations.

Professor Tiernan is regularly called on by media for independent analysis and commentary on national politics, public administration and public policy.
“Her experience and knowledge will be of tremendous value as we seek to meet the GBS strategic priority of building and enhancing our engagement activities,”
