Vooght has been at Artefact UK since 2022 as its first AI and data consulting leader, and as chief executive of the UK business she will focus on deepening relationships with AI firms including Anthropic, Google and OpenAI as well as scaling the UK team.

Coggia is stepping down to start a new business venture focused on his Corsican heritage.

Artefact is a global services company focused on data and AI transformation. The firm employs more than 2,500 people across 27 countries.

Coggia said: “I leave for olives and cannelés, which is a change of pace but not, I would argue, of philosophy. Good things, made properly, by people who care.

“Artefact UK is in excellent hands, and I shall be watching with great interest and no small amount of pride of Artefact.”
