Ipsos MORI CEO Takes Global HR Post

Mike Everett, formally CEO of Ipsos MORI in the UK, is to become Global HR Director for the Ipsos Group in July.

Everett became CEO in January 2008, from his previous role as Managing Director. He joined what was then MORI 13 years ago, during which time he was a member of the team responsible for completing two management buy-outs, and also oversaw the merger of the operations of MORI and Ipsos. Prior to joining, he worked for Ernst & Young.

Last month, it was announced that Everett would be stepping down from the CEO position to take up a new role on the Global Management Board. He is replaced by Ben Page, who joined the firm's public sector practice in 1987 and most recently worked as MD of Public Affairs in the UK.

Commenting on his appointment, Everett said: 'How we manage our people and talent within Ipsos is a fundamental part of our business strategy and success. I am delighted to take up this role and am looking forward to helping the organisation and its people become as effective as possible.'
