Behind our success as a leading private institute for business, is our dedicated professional team of board members, academic board, committees, management and staff.

Syme Business School’s governance framework is defined by the core roles and responsibilities of the three principal bodies for institutional governance:

Board of Directors is the corporate governing body which sets overall strategic directions and the policies and processes necessary to achieve institutional objectives and performance targets and to sustain the quality of higher education that is offered. It is ultimately responsible to shareholders and stakeholders for both corporate and academic outcomes.

Executive Management includes the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives and managers. The Executive Management is responsible for implementing policies, programs and processes, including the making of decisions about staffing, budgets, infrastructure, etc. It is delegated responsibility by the Board of Directors and is accountable to the Board of Directors for effective implementation of both corporate and academic objectives.
