He was deputy director of CEDEP from 2009 to 2011, director until 2015, and then dean of programs until December 2019. He has played a key role in leading CEDEP’s General Management Program (GMP) revamps, including the latest GMP NXT, into action learning, reality-drivenexperiences.

His interests focus on innovation and change, and his approach is to explore managerial beliefs, reveal cognitive biases and propose means and measures to adapt to, transform or overcome these.

Jens has an MBA in innovation, strategy and information technology from Theseus International Management Institute (today EDHEC Business School) in Sophia Antipolis. He co-founded the Centre for Advanced Learning Technologies (CALT) at INSEAD.

At CEDEP, Jens continues to enjoy designing and lecturing in face-to-face as well as virtual programs.
