UK— TNS has appointed former Ipsos Mori CEO Mike Everett as global head of stakeholder management. He will start at the beginning of January and report to Matthew Froggatt, chief development officer.
Everett (pictured) held a number of roles at Ipsos Mori over the course of his time there, including managing director, chief operating officer and different grades of researcher.
Earlier in his career he was a consulting associate and senior consultant at Ernst & Young. In his last role at Ipsos before joining TNS, Everett served as global head of people and talent.
Once he joins TNS, he will be based in the firm’s London office and have responsibility for the company’s TR*M centre in Germany, which houses TNS’s range of stakeholder management services. Susanne O’Gorman and Peter Pirner will continue as directors of the stakeholder management practice, having temporarily led it.
Froggatt said: “I am delighted that Mike is joining TNS. He has demonstrated great passion and energy for the business and I am confident that under his leadership we will extend the success of our stakeholder management team.”
