This past year, in recognition of Penn’s increasing engagement in academic and research programs abroad, the University established a new Office of Global Support Services. The purpose of this office is to provide business and administrative support and guidance to faculty and staff who are involved in new or continuing international programs. The office will serve as a focal point and a liaison between the faculty and staff and University administrative offices in instances where questions arise as to international policies, procedures and regulatory issues.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of a new Executive Director to lead the Office of Global Support Services. Artemis Koch joined Penn on October 1 to serve in this new position. Ms. Koch previously worked at KPMG LLP, where she was senior manager, International Services. In her 15 years at KPMG, she served as a consultant to numerous clients in various aspects of their international activities, including compliance, employment, payroll, tax, relocation, benefits, compensation policy and international assignment program issues. Prior to her assignment at KPMG, Ms. Koch worked for Deloitte LLP as Tax Manager.
In her new capacity, Ms. Koch will assist University of Pennsylvania faculty and staff in navigating the numerous and complex administrative and compliance issues they face in organizing and managing their programs abroad.
