About Pascale Bauer

Global Executive | Strategic Leader | Multilingual Educator | Advocate for International TalentWith over 20 years of experience across education, automotive, design, premedia, and communications, I’ve built a career at the intersection of strategy, global leadership, and human connection. My journey has taken me from executive committee roles in Paris and San Diego to launching LatAm operations (Brazil, Argentina) for Diadeis—now part of SGSco—and later restructuring digital operations as SVP, Digital at SGSco in Detroit.Today, I serve as Dean of International Enrollment at Cranbrook Schools, a role that brings together everything I love: representing Cranbrook around the world, connecting with families, and identifying exceptional students who will thrive in our community. This year, I’m proud to have recruited students from 33 countries—up from 24 last year—a testament to the trust we build and the global reach of our mission.Fluent in English, French (native), Portuguese, and proficient in German, I’ve always believed that diversity enriches education. Whether mentoring teams, teaching French, or supporting nonprofits in Detroit, I’m driven by a deep commitment to people, purpose, and possibility.Cranbrook isn’t just where I work—it’s a place I’ve chosen, both personally and professionally.
