Ipsos Promotes for New Chief Talent Officer Role

Ipsos is promoting Canada President and CEO Gary Bennewies to the newly created role of Chief Talent Officer, from the beginning of next month.

Bennewies (pictured) joined Ipsos when it acquired the Angus Reid Group in 2000. He was appointed Country Manager for Canada in 2001, and oversaw the integration of Ipsos NPD Canada and Tandemar Research. In addition, he completed several acquisitions for Ipsos including Descarie Complice, Camelford Graham and Forward Research; and as a member of the North America core leadership team, he also led the region's Marketing and Communication division.

In his new position, Bennewies will oversee the HR function across Ipsos, as well as initiatives relating to talent development and succession planning. In addition, he will continue to lead the development of the group's global Agriculture and Animal Health arm.

He reports to Chairman & CEO Didier Truchot, who comments: 'The creation of this new Chief Talent Officer role is part of our New Way programme, part of which is focused on further developing our talents and teams' expertise as well as improving our human resources processes. Gary has played an instrumental role in making Ipsos a dominant market research company in Canada with some of the most talented people in the industry, and I look forward to watching him continue this success on an international level'.
