With a platform now in place for sustainable profitability, the Board has been refreshed to capitalise on ZOO’s evolved positioning and emerging market opportunities.
Nathalie Schwarz has become Chair, succeeding Gillian Wilmot CBE who stood down from the Board in May following nearly seven years of service to the Group. Previously Senior Independent Director, Nathalie brings 20 years of international board-level experience with expertise in the media and digital technology sector.
In May, we also welcomed Alan Newman to the Board as an independent Non-Executive Director. Alan is an experienced non-executive director, Chief Financial Officer and business adviser, with a specialism in media, technology and knowledge-based businesses. His background combines senior management roles in global businesses including CFO of Ebiquity plc and YouGov plc, with senior consultancy and professional services leadership roles at KPMG and EY. He is currently Audit Committee Chair and Senior Independent Director of Future plc, an international media group.
Alan will succeed Mickey Kalifa as Chair of the Audit Committee when he stands down from the Board at the FY26 AGM, having served a term of
nine years.
