Education

Academic career at IESE Business School
Fernando Pereira was a key figure in the founding of IESE Business School, along with Antonio Valero Vicente. He moved to Barcelona in 1958 and was part of the founding team that included Félix Huerta Herrero, Anton Wurster, Rafael Termes, Juan Ferrán Nadal and Carlos Cavallé. With Valero, he travelled to many educational institutions in Europe to see first-hand the best practices in business education. During their visit to L'École d'Administration des Affaires in Lille, it was decided that Pereira would stay there to complete his teacher training.[1] A year later, he joined IESE as a professor in the Department of Information and Economic Control.
In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Pereira actively promoted and developed research at IESE, serving as the university's research director (1959-1964) and director of executive education programmes.
