Ebiquity Plc
17 April 2023
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
Following the previous announcement of the retirement of Alan Newman, CFO and COO, Ebiquity plc ("Ebiquity" or the "Group"), the world leader in media investment analysis, is pleased to announce that Julia Hubbard will be joining the board as CFO on 28 April 2023.
Alan Newman will remain with the Group and on the board as an executive director, for an appropriate period of time to ensure a smooth handover of his responsibilities, which is expected to be completed by the end of June.
Ebiquity will benefit from Julia's broad expertise in financial roles throughout her career to date. She is currently COO with Foundries.io Limited, which was set up in 2019 as a global SaaS business, providing solutions for secure management and maintenance of software to manufacturers of connected devices.
Prior to this Julia held CFO positions at 7digital Plc and Amino Technologies Plc - both AIM listed companies, in whose turnarounds she played a major part. She will therefore bring strong financial and leadership skills to Ebiquity along with sound experience of growing businesses and operating internationally.
Julia is a qualified chartered accountant (FCA). She spent over ten years at KPMG at the start of her career, where she worked in both audit and transaction services.
Rob Woodward, Chair of Ebiquity commented:
"I am delighted to welcome Julia to the plc Board and the executive team. She brings strong financial leadership experience that is very relevant to Ebiquity and our growth plans. I and the rest of the Board look forward to working with her."
