Newswise — “It is truly an honor to have Judd Gregg, John Lynch, and Matthew Rees join the Center for Global Business and Government,” said Matthew Slaughter, faculty director of the center and the associate dean of faculty at Tuck. “Together, they bring enormous breadth of insight into the interactions between public policymakers and the private sector grounded in their experiences as senior leaders in government, business, and the media.”
At Tuck, their duties will include working with the center to further develop and enrich the school’s connections to expert practitioners in the private and public sectors, as well as overseeing research and analysis projects conducted with MBA students on subjects at the intersection of global business and government. The appointments of Gregg, Lynch, and Rees will further expand opportunities for Tuck MBA students and alumni interested in areas such as market regulation, fiscal policy, and management.
