Ipsos Enhances Corporate Governance with New Board Members
Strengthening Leadership at Ipsos
Ipsos, a renowned market research and polling company, has recently taken significant steps to fortify its leadership team. In a move to enhance its governance structure, Ipsos has appointed three distinguished professionals to its Board of Directors. The new members include Ms. Armelle Carminati-Rabasse, Mr. Lionel Chaine, and Ms. Anne-Marie Couderc.
A New Era of Governance
The appointments were finalized during the Company’s Annual General Meeting, where Mr. Chaine represents Bpifrance Investissement, while Ms. Carminati-Rabasse brings her impressive credentials to the board.
Key Changes in Board Composition
After the Board convened on June 20, it was decided that Ms. Anne-Marie Couderc would co-opt to replace Ms. Florence Parly, who recently assumed the role of Chair at Air France-KLM. This transition marks a strategic enhancement of the Board, which now consists of 14 members, including an equal gender representation of 7 women and 7 men. Remarkably, 67% of the board members are independent directors, which reflects Ipsos's commitment to corporate governance best practices.

I would like to thank Armelle Carminati-Rabasse, Lionel Chaine, and Anne-Marie Couderc for accepting to join us. I also wish to express my sincere appreciation to their predecessors, Ms. Anne Marion-Bouchacourt and Ms. Florence Parly, for their commitment and valuable contributions to Ipsos in recent years."
