FTSE-100 group Experian kicks off hunt for next chairman
Experian, the FTSE-100 credit referencing giant, is kicking off a hunt for a successor to its long-serving chairman.
Sky News understands that Experian is working with headhunters to identify a replacement for Mike Rogers, who has chaired the company since July 2019. Mr Rogers has been on the company's board since the summer of 2017, meaning his independence will be 'timed out' under corporate governance guidelines by July 2026.
Sources close to the process said a successor was unlikely to be in place until next year. The search for Experian's next chairman is being led internally by Alison Brittain, the Premier League chair, who serves as the company's senior independent director.
One of the new chair's most pressing tasks is likely to be lining up a long-term successor to Brian Cassin, Experian's chief executive since 2014. Under Mr Cassin's leadership, the group's valuation has soared, and it now boasts a market capitalisation of more than £35bn.
Experian's global operations and strong presence in the US, have triggered speculation that it could follow other London-listed companies in switching its primary listing to New York. The shares have risen by about 14% during the last year.
