AACSB Appoints Regional Head, South Asia

Tampa, Fla., USA (October 1, 2024)—AACSB International (AACSB) announces the appointment of Prathap Das as regional head of South Asia. This important role will support AACSB’s membership and elevate the global profile of South Asian business schools.

Das will work closely with Geoff Perry, AACSB executive vice president, chief membership officer, and managing director of Asia Pacific, to strengthen the quality of business education in the region.

Das brings more than two decades of experience in higher education, with a strong focus on business schools and driving innovation and impact in teaching, learning, research, and publications. He has held leadership roles at ProQuest, Clarivate, and EBSCO, giving him a deep understanding of the industry as he works with AACSB member schools and partners to raise awareness and recognition in the region.

Amy Memon, who has served the region until now, has been promoted to director of membership and affiliates and will work collaboratively with the regional heads to increase the value of AACSB membership globally.
