Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself to the conference delegates. In my position as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs with the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications, I am in the process of overseeing the design and implementation of an Executive Masters in Media, Leadership and Innovation to be delivered from our newly established school in Nairobi Kenya. Please have a look at our website for more information about the mission, vision and programs to be offered by AKU-GSMC.

Working with Dean Michael Meyer and director of professional development Stephen Buckley, GSMC wants to build a cohort of interested scholars and media leaders to assist us in the design, development and roll out of the executive masters, which will target senior media executives and leaders across Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

This is an extremely exciting project and I would love to chat to anyone interested in research, curriculum development and/or contributing to our executive education program particularly in the areas of media business, innovation, leadership, media management, strategy and related fields.

I look forward to chatting to many of you during the conference about opportunities to work together. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with your ideas and advice.
Best wishes
Professor Rhonda Breit, LLB, PhD
