Oxford Leadership Academy announces new Supervisory Board & Governance Structure

As part of its planned transition towards professional management, Oxford Leadership Academy today announced the formation of a new Supervisory Board, governance and steering structure. 

Academy Chairman and Founder, Brian Bacon said today, "The formation of the Supervisory Board and new governance structure  are significant steps in growing Oxford Leadership Academy to the next level. Along with the appointment of Cyril Legrand as CEO and other senior level appointments, these steps are part of a planned transition of the Academy towards an exciting new era under professional management. The Supervisory Board comprises special individuals who are close to me and deeply committed to the Academy's higher purpose, values and vision. I am thrilled and proud of this milestone in our growth"

Oxford Leadership Academy aims to become the world's most influential leadership services consultancy, developing leaders who will transform business for good. In a world of increasing speed and complexity, we believe that leadership wisdom is the sine qua non of a fairer, more humane and ecologically respectful society. The world needs new business leaders who are driven by a purpose beyond products and profits - who can facilitate collaborative action based on collective wisdom. The Academy has grown considerably since its official formation as a UK based entity in 2005. Since that time, the Academy has secured long term relationships with major global corporations such as Telefonica, Akzo Nobel, BASF, Heineken, Electrolux and McDonald's producing annual revenues in excess of £10 million. Over 200,000 executives have benefited from Oxford leadership programmes in the areas of leadership consultancy, training, coaching and large events. Along with sister company Oxford Research, Oxford Group now has 85 full time staff and 130 Fellows serving major global clients in 28 countries.
