New CEO
Mid-way through the year, Teresa Booth (previously Director of Client Services & Expansion) took over as acting CEO.
Not only is Teresa already immersed in the data insight industry, she has also been with the Ikano Group for over 15 years so fully embraces the strong Ikano culture and values.
We have also recruited talented new co-workers at cross-functional levels who bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and new energy to our data and insight business so we can accelerate our growth.
“I feel privileged to lead Ikano Insight in this exciting
stage of our journey. It’s never been more important for businesses to understand their customers’ needs, wants and expectations and be able to make confident data-
driven decisions.”

Rising to the challenge of global co-working
In addition to new recruits joining through lockdown, our co-workers are spread across the globe in the UK, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia and Mexico. With restricted travel and differing lockdown rules many have still not met each other.
Everybody has embraced the ongoing virtual-ness of working life with good humour though and we have had regular “fikas” and quizzes to rally team morale.
Data insight is the key to a sustainable future
Our key sustainability objective is to focus on helping other businesses to measure progress towards their sustainability goals. In 2021, we have worked closely with each of the Ikano Group to do just this.
