I am delighted to take on this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his tenure as associate dean for the full-time MBA program at UCLA Anderson, the school has increased its admissions more than 60 percent, increased placements more than 20 percent, and revised its curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAndrew Ainslie has had practical experience in multiple phases of business. His emphasis is on faculty quality, admissions and career placement. He should be a great fit for Simon,\u201d said Ed Hajim, chair of the University\u2019s Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n<p>Ainslie has been associate professor of marketing at UCLA Anderson since 2005; he was assistant professor of marketing there from 2000 to 2005. From 1997 through 2000 he was assistant professor of marketing at Cornell University\u2019s Johnson Graduate School of Management.<\/p>\n<p>Before beginning his academic career, Ainslie had a ten-year career in business, including as an electrical engineer for AECI (South Africa), sales and marketing for Hewlett Packard (South Africa), corporate finance with Standard Merchant Bank, and marketing and development for Compustat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAndrew Ainslie impressed us with his leadership experience, his commitment to the research mission, and his farsighted approach to the challenges facing all MBA programs,\u201d said Trustee Janice Willett \u201978 (MBA), chair of the Trustees and Friends Advisory Committee for the search.<\/p>\n<p>Provost Peter Lennie said he looks forward to working with Ainslie. \u201cHe will be a great addition to our academic leadership team. His analytical and collaborative style will complement our strengths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ainslie received a B.Sc. in electrical engineering from the University of Cape Town in 1983 and an MBA in marketing from Cape Town in 1990. He received a Ph.D. in marketing and statistics from Chicago Booth in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMark Zupan leaves an inspiring legacy,\u201d Seligman said. \u201cUnder his leadership, Simon has reversed the decline in MBA enrollment, created several successful new master\u2019s programs, and met its targets for endowment draw for several years running. It is a significant record of achievement. Mark deserves our gratitude for a job well done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zupan, dean since 2004, plans a sabbatical after which he will become the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics and Public Policy and Director of the Bradley Policy Research Center at Simon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe conducted an extensive national search. I want to thank two outstanding committees: the search committee and the trustees and friends advisory committee, as well as the many others who interviewed the finalists,\u201d Seligman said.<\/p>\n<p>The search committee consisted of Joel Seligman (chair), James Brickley, Robert Clark, Paul Ellickson, Phillip Lederer, Robert Novy-Marx, Michael Raith, Abraham (Avi) Seidmann, Greg Shaffer, Toni Whited, Joanna Wu, Jerold Zimmerman, Lamar Murphy (staff to the committee).<\/p>\n<p>The trustees and friends advisory committee members included Janice Willett (chair), Peter Simon, Mark Ain, Mike Ryan, Evans Lam, Ron Fielding, and Colleen Wegman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ainslie has been senior associate dean, full-time MBA program, at UCLA Anderson School of Management since 2010.
