Ipsos has appointed former Stellantis exec Marion Beyret as Chief Communications Officer, succeeding Caroline Ponsi Khider and reporting to global Deputy CEO Alexandre Boissy.

Beyret (pictured) brings fifteen years of experience from work in media, politics and multinational corporations. She joins from Stellantis, where she led Communications and Public Affairs in Europe, overseeing reputation strategy and stakeholder engagement; and before that she headed up communications at Air France-KLM.

'Marion's appointment strengthens our Group's leadership,' says Boissy. 'Her sharp strategic insight, deep expertise in corporate positioning, and extensive experience will be instrumental in elevating our capabilities. She will drive the enhancement of our expertise, the strengthening of our corporate narratives, and the amplification of our global communications impact across our markets.'
