Dublin City University appoints Prof Dominic Elliott as Executive Dean of the Business School

In welcoming Professor Elliott to the role, Deputy President of DCU, Professor Anne Sinnott, said:

“Dominic has extensive leadership experience and we look forward to welcoming him to DCU in the New Year as Executive Dean of DCU Business School. He will be joining us from the University of the West of Scotland, where he has held the position of Dean of the School of Media, Culture, and Society.

On behalf of the University, I would also like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere gratitude to interim Deans, Professors Colm O’Gorman and Barbara Flood for their continuing support over the past two years.”

With more  than twenty years experience in the industry, combining research, publishing, and practice, Professor Elliott’s research interests lie in strategic management and, in particular, organisational learning from crisis and failure.
