Dear ISB Community,
We are very pleased to announce that Mr. Marc de Vries joined the ISB team last week as Director of Operations. Mr. De Vries will be supporting Dr. Ugo Costessi who has returned to ISB as Deputy Head of School/CFO on a part time and interim basis. Dr. Costessi’s main focus will be on the school’s financial management, while Mr. De Vries will oversee the day to day operations.
Mr. De Vries’ availability presented a unique opportunity to ISB as he possesses key institutional knowledge of the school following his many years as both Chair of the Board of Trustees and Chair of the Business Committee. He also has the relevant professional experience and skill set to effectively oversee operational aspects. Mr. De Vries’ strong passion for learning, his many personal qualities, along with his knowledge of ISB, our history and our ethos, make him ideally suited to this position. Two of Marc’s children have graduated from ISB, while his daughter Carina is studying in Grade 11.
Mr. De Vries has resigned from the Board of Trustees and Mr. Eric Ma was appointed Chair of the ISB Board of Trustees in his stead at the Board Retreat last Friday.
The search process for a full time Deputy Head of School/CFO for the 2017/18 school year is underway and the position has been posted with Search Associates.
Please join me in welcoming Mr. De Vries to the ISB staff.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Davies
Head of School
