YouGov Promotes McIntosh to CFO
YouGov Group Chief Strategy Officer Alex McIntosh has been promoted to the role of Chief Financial Officer, replacing Alan Newman who is leaving the company at the end of the year. Both McIntosh and COO Sundip Chahal will be given seats on the Board.
 McIntosh (pictured) joined YouGov as Corporate Finance Manager a decade ago, after working as an accountant. He moved to the innovations department, working on strategic direction alongside Global CEO and co-founder Stephan Shakespeare; then helped to form YouGov's Data Intelligence Unit and became CSO in 2014. A year later, he added the title of UK CEO.
He will commence his new role on 6th December 2017, taking up a seat on the Board alongside COO Chahal. At this point, Newman will retire from the Board, and he will leave the group's employment on 31st December 2017. Doug Rivers, Chief Scientist, will also stand down from the Board, but will remain with the company with an expanded remit managing the group's global technology development teams.
Commenting on the changes, Chairman Roger Parry thanked Newman and Rivers for their contribution to the company, adding: 'Alex has already contributed significantly to the group's development as a member of YouGov's management team and brings considerable financial and strategic planning expertise to the role as well as in-depth knowledge and experience of the group's business and operations. I am also delighted to welcome Sundip to the Board'.
