Ipsos Financial Chief Dan Lévy to Depart

Ipsos has announced that Group CFO Dan Lévy will shortly step down, in order to pursue as-yet unspecified new opportunities outside the company. The global group will immediately begin the search for a replacement, with Olivier Champourlier filling the role on an interim basis.

Champourlier (pictured) is a 21-year veteran of Ipsos, currently serving as Head of Group Controlling. Previously he was Group Head of Consolidation, Accounting and Tax, and Chief Financial Officer for EMEA. Before joining Ipsos his experience included five years at PwC.

Lévy, whose previous experience included working for Finance Ministries in both France and the UK, as well as a long spell at French banking giant Société Générale, joined Ipsos three and a half years ago, replacing Laurence Stoclet who had been with the business for nearly 24 years.

Ipsos says it 'thanks Dan for his contribution and wishes him every success in his future endeavours.'
