New CFO for Ipsos as Stoclet Steps Down

In Paris, Ipsos has appointed Dan Lévy as Group Chief Financial Officer, from June 10th, replacing Laurence Stoclet who has been with the business for nearly 24 years.

Lévy spent the first part of his career at the Ministry of Finance, in the Treasury Directorate and then in the Budget Directorate, in economic, financial and expenditure control functions. Between 2005 and 2007 he was seconded to the British Ministry of Finance as an economist, based in London. Then in 2010, he joined Société Générale - initially at the General Inspection, an audit and consulting department, supervising initiatives in France and abroad. He later became a senior banker, before leading the merger of two business centers dedicated to the bank's corporate clients, and he served as director of the resulting business centre.

In his new role, Lévy will work with Stoclet during a transition period. Stoclet's term of office as Deputy CEO and participation in the group's Executive Committee will end on September 30th, after which she will continue to advise Group CEO Ben Page in relation to 'certain minority interests'.

Page comments: 'I am delighted to welcome Dan as our new CFO, who will be working closely with me as part of our new global management team. His extensive skills in financing, M&A and cash management as well as strong international and management experience of large and diverse teams make him the right choice for Ipsos, and particularly for our planned growth plan for 2025. I would also like to sincerely thank Laurence for her major contribution to Ipsos over the past two decades in building our global network and systems that our growth will depend on'.
