Ebiquity PLC (LSE:EBQ), a UK-based provider of media investment analysis, recently announced a change in its executive team. Julia Hubbard has stepped down from her position as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective 2 August 2024. She will remain with Ebiquity until 14 August 2024 to ensure a smooth transition.
Interim Management Arrangements
In the wake of Hubbard’s resignation, Ebiquity PLC has put interim measures in place to cover the CFO role. An experienced external consultant will assume interim responsibilities, supported by the internal finance team. The interim arrangement is intended to maintain continuity and stability within the finance department during this transition period.
Company Background
