An update from Yougov plc ( (GB:YOU) ) is now available.
YouGov has announced a change in its finance leadership, with long-serving Chief Financial Officer Alex McIntosh stepping down from his role and from the Board after nineteen years at the company. McIntosh, credited by management with helping drive YouGov’s transformation from a small research agency into a 3,000-strong international data analytics group, will remain during his notice period to ensure an orderly handover.
The company has appointed James Davies as interim Chief Financial Officer, effective 12 February 2026, with the role sitting on YouGov’s senior executive Steering Team but not the Board for now. Davies brings over 25 years of experience in global organisations, including senior finance roles at OVO Energy and Monzo Bank, a background in investment banking and governance roles at British Cycling, as YouGov signals a focus on building a more focused, sustainable business and driving long-term value creation.
