Update to the Board of Directors
YouGov, the international research and data analytics group,
confirms further to the Company's announcement on 14 April 2023,
the following changes to its Board of Directors effective 1 August
2023:
Steve Hatch will join the Company as Chief Executive Officer,
succeeding Stephan Shakespeare, who will assume the role of
Non-Executive Chair.
In line with the previously disclosed Board succession plan,
Roger Parry will step down from the role of Non-Executive Chair
after a 16-year tenure and will leave the Company.
Rosemary Leith will step down as Senior Independent Director
after a near nine-year tenure. Nick Prettejohn will assume the role
of Senior Independent Director, as part of the previously disclosed
Board succession plan. Additionally, Nick will join the Board's
Audit & Risk Committee as a member. Rosemary will continue to
hold the role of Chair of the Board's Remuneration Committee until
April 2024 when she expects to step down from the Board.
Furthermore, YouGov announces the following changes to roles in
the senior leadership team, also effective 1 August 2023:
Sundip Chahal's role will change from Chief Operating Officer to
Chief Business Officer with a remit for leading integration and
growth strategies at YouGov. Initially, Sundip will be focussed on
the planned integration of GfK's Consumer Panel Business following
YouGov's intended transformative acquisition of the business as
announced on 6 July 2023. Additionally, Sundip will work closely
with Steve Hatch during the leadership transition period to ensure
the success of YouGov's organic growth strategy. Sundip will remain
on the YouGov Board as an Executive Director in this new role.
Lynda Vivian will be promoted to the non-Board role of Chief
Operating Officer with a focus on the delivery of YouGov's Platform
model in line with the Company's strategic growth plan, while
continuing her work ensuring operational excellence across the
business. Lynda has held several senior leadership roles during her
15 years at YouGov and has over 20 years' experience of working
within the data analytics sector.
Stephan Shakespeare, Non-Executive Chair, said: "On behalf of
the Board and the entire YouGov team, I would like to thank Roger
Parry for his 16 years of outstanding service. Roger has been
highly influential in the growth and success of our business as a
trusted advisor, mentor, and partner to the YouGov leadership team
throughout our journey. We wish him the very best in his future
endeavours.
Looking ahead, I would like to congratulate Sundip and Lynda on
their new roles and officially welcome Steve Hatch as our new Chief
Executive Officer. It is an honour to step into the role of
Non-Executive Chair and continue my journey with YouGov in its
strongest ever position. With the right Board and executive team
now in place and the transformative acquisition of GfK's Consumer
Panel Business in planning stage, I am excited by what we can
achieve in the next phase of our strategic growth plan."
