The AFO Group appoints Ainsworth interim CEO
Ainsworth was Emea chief executive at Kantar Media for six years and left the business in 2024. Prior to Kantar Media, she led Kantar Millward Brown in the UK and spent four years as chief executive of Warc.
The AFO Group has appointed Ainsworth as interim chief executive as founder Howard Kosky steps down from the role after 30 years.
The AFO Group’s businesses include market research consultancy Censuswide, data and insight specialists Opinion Matters and broadcast PR agency Markettiers.
Ainsworth said: “I am hugely impressed by the breadth and quality of the work we do, the fantastic range of clients and most of all by the team of people who are committed to continuing to grow and evolve AFO Group going forward. I look forward to meeting our clients and our wider team, and doing my bit to help to build the future of this extraordinary business.”
