HeForShe Welcomes INSEAD's New Dean, Francisco Veloso, to the HeForShe Alliance

INSEAD, The business school for the World, enters a new chapter with Professor Francisco Veloso starting his mandate as Dean of INSEAD. In a significant step towards advancing gender equality in academia and beyond, HeForShe welcomes the newly appointed Dean to the HeForShe Alliance. 

The HeForShe initiative, launched by UN Women, aims to engage men and boys as advocates and agents of change for gender equality and women's rights. With Dean Veloso's enthusiastic embrace of this mission, the alliance gains a powerful ally in its quest for a more equitable world. 

“One of the areas that I am most excited about as I begin my new role is INSEAD’s commitment to DEI, and in particular, our involvement in the HeForShe Alliance. As the business school for the world, we are uniquely placed to address systemic biases.”

The collaboration between INSEAD and HeForShe holds great promise for driving meaningful change. This partnership aims to work towards dismantling barriers and creating opportunities for women and marginalized genders in academia, business, and society at large. 

“I look forward to working with our partners in this important alliance. By combining forces through HeForShe, we have the opportunity to change the world for the better.”
