Admissions Director Q&A: INSEAD MBA Program Dean Jake Cohen
In our continuing series of interviews with admissions directors at the world’s top business schools, we were fortunate enough to connect recently with Jake Cohen, who in September 2008 replaced Antonio Fatás as dean of INSEAD’s MBA program.
Cohen, a professor of accounting and control and business law at INSEAD for more than five years, also served as director of the INSEAD-PricewaterhouseCoopers research initiative on high performance organizations, overseeing the school’s largest research center. Prior to joining INSEAD, Cohen was a senior teaching fellow in the accounting and management group at Harvard Business School.
In the transcript that follows, you’ll hear from Cohen about some of the exciting things to expect in the year ahead at INSEAD’s Fontainebleau and Singapore campuses and get some practical tips on how to make your application stand out.
