Sir Peter Gregson, Cranfield’s Chief Executive and Vice-Chancellor, announced the news by saying: “We are looking forward to welcoming Maury to the University. His unique strengths in technology and management mean he is an excellent choice to lead Cranfield’s School of Management from its world-class position in executive education to the next level.”

“I am thrilled and honoured to be named Director of one of the world’s first and most influential schools of management, and a member of Cranfield University’s Executive team,” said Professor Peiperl, adding that “Cranfield’s strengths are broad and deep, and its opportunities to make a tangible difference in the world of practice, across a variety of sectors, are manifest. I look forward with great enthusiasm to joining in early 2015.”
