Ipsos C-Suite Hire Combines Platforms and Tech

Ipsos has appointed Nathan Brumby as Chief Platforms and Technology Officer. Current COO Michel Guidi, will step down from his role 'in the coming weeks' to pursue opportunities outside the Group.

Ipsos says the hire is part of an 'ongoing organizational evolution' designed to strengthen its technology and platform capabilities. Brumby brings more than twenty years' experience of tech leadership roles in both public and private sector organisations, across multiple continents. Most recently he was CPO and then CPTO during three and a half years at property technology and services marketplace Domain, and before that he spent more than four years at veteran online job site Monster. Earlier he worked in Product and General Manager roles at Dell, and at careers support site BOLD.

In his new role, Brumby will lead all technology and IT teams across the Group, as Ipsos looks to scale its platforms for the future. He started last Monday, is based in Paris and will report directly to Group CEO Jean Laurent Poitou, who comments: 'Nathan's strategic vision and technical expertise will be instrumental in accelerating Ipsos' tech evolution... With all Technology and IT teams reporting to him, we will provide the strong technical foundations that enable AI solutions to operate reliably at scale, allowing for greater speed, automation and better service for our clients.'

Guidi, a veteran of Dynata / predecessors SSI and Bloomerce, joined in the COO role three years ago. Precise details of his next move are not known to DRNO at this time.
