HSG Advisory Board

Impulses from the HSG network for the University of St.Gallen

In terms of organisation, the HSG Advisory Board is situated between the President’s Board, HSG Alumni and the University’s Board of Governors. Its 16 members – eminent personalities from trade and industry and academia – advise the University Management with regard to strategic issues and in its dialogue with the private sector, the public sector and NGOs. Ever since 2007, this Board has championed the University and provided essential impulses for its continued development. Thus the Advisory Board has contributed towards the promotion of entrepreneurship, the sharpening of the HSG’s research profiles and the development of the HSG Vision, as well as the expansion of international representations (HSG hubs). Together with the University representatives, the honorary members of the Advisory Board face the challenges of a business university with international and regional roots in the 21st century.
