Miguel Ferre appointed Vice President of the IE Business School and EY Foundation Global Corporation

The Global Corporation Center is a research center created to examine and debate the challenges facing large business organizations in the field of good corporate governance.

Miguel Ferre has been appointed Vice President of the Global Corporation Center (GCC), a research center created by the EY Foundation and IE Business School to examine and debate the key challenges facing large business organizations in the field of good corporate governance.

The Global Corporation Center was launched by IE Business School and the EY Foundation in 2014. Headed by Giuseppe Tringali, Vice President of Mediaset España, its overarching objective is to foster reflection on how to improve corporate governance practices in an environment defined by disruption, in which business corporations face major changes in regulation at all levels, while the value of intangible assets and technology play an increasingly prominent role.

The Global Corporation Center, which is now entering a new phase, aims to equip the governing bodies of companies with a means of analysis, coupled with the tools required to meet new challenges that demand new global strategies.

Miguel Ferre was named Spanish Secretary of State for Finance in 2011 and has therefore been very involved in decisionmaking in the field of Spanish economic policy in recent years. Following his time with the Spanish Ministry of Finance, Ferre has joined IE, where he has assumed the position of Vice President of the Global Corporation Center with a view to bringing added impetus to its program of activities.
