Online research business Macromill Group has given Larry Weber and Atsushi Mizushima seats on its Board, as former CEO and Board Director Han de Groot departs.

Tokyo and Rotterdam-based Macromill comprises a group of specialist companies which provide digital research solutions from more than 30 offices across the Americas, Europe and Asia. Weber is Chairman and CEO of marcoms agency Racepoint Global, and founder of PR company The Weber Group, which is now part of Interpublic. Mizushima is a Partner of law firm Nishimura & Asahi, where he manages initiatives such as M&A transactions, business alliances, globalization and financing.

In addition, Bain Capital MD Atsushi Yokoyama has stepped down from the Board of Directors. As has de Groot, who founded MetrixLab in 1999. Following MetrixLab’s merger with Macromill in 2014, de Groot was appointed Global CEO of Macromill, but stepped down from the role last year, while remaining on the Board to provide advice to the leadership team on portfolio choices and strategy.

Macromill Global CEO Scott Ernst comments: ‘Larry and Atsushi will be great assets to our board and shareholders. Leaders in their respective fields, they each bring unique knowledge and experience to our business. We are deeply appreciative of Han’s leadership and significant contribution to the organization over the last seventeen years. I know I speak on behalf of all colleagues in thanking Han for his extraordinary service to our company and in wishing him the very best in his future endeavors.’
