(Sharecast News) - Social video company Brave Bison said on Wednesday that Philippa Norridge would be joining its board as interim chief financial officer after Paul Campbell-White stepped down from the role, with immediate effect.
Brave Bison highlighted that Norridge, who previously served as finance director at global agency group MullenLowe Profero, had worked on various acquisitions and mergers of marketing services businesses - including Profero's acquisition by Interpublic and the subsequent acquisition and integration of 101.
Norridge was also a director of Tangent Marketing Services, a shareholder of Brave Bison.
Brave Bison said it would appoint a permanent CFO as soon as the appropriate candidate was identified.
In addition, the AIM-listed company said it was in discussions regarding the appointment of two independent non-executive directors and was aiming to complete one such appointment "shortly".
Chief executive Oli Green said: "Philippa has a clear track record in financial strategy, cost optimisation and making operational improvements.
"Having worked closely with Philippa for the past year I am confident she will hit the ground running and quickly become an asset to Kate and the rest of the business."
As of 0925 GMT, Brave Bison shares were down 1.28% at 1.16p.
