Professor Yvonne Beach

I joined UWE Bristol on 1 October 2022, as PVC and Head of the College of Business and Law.  I am a member of the Vice Chancellor's Executive.     

I joined the University of Sheffield in 2005, bringing 10 years of industrial and corporate leadership experience.  During my time at the University of Sheffield I head several senior roles, most recently as Associate Dean at the Sheffield University Management School and Deputy Director of the Faculty of Social Sciences.

I am passionate about widening participation and opportunities available to all. Delivered through an inspirational, inclusive, and collaborative community.

My research and practice are in the socio-political complexities of change within academia, through critical management inquiry.  

I gained my DBA from Sheffield Hallam University and was awarded a personal Chair in Management Education in 2020.
