Centaur
announces appointment of new Managing Director at The
Lawyer
Centaur, an international provider
of business intelligence, learning and specialist consultancy, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Sarah Sanderson as Managing
Director of The Lawyer, who will be joining the business on 1 May.
Sarah will replace Jane Wilkinson, who will leave Centaur on 26
April to pursue a portfolio career.
In her role as Managing Director,
Sarah Sanderson will bring expertise from over 30 years' experience
in data and insight services to lead the evolution of The Lawyer
into a provider of business intelligence and learning.
Sarah joins The Lawyer after fifteen
years at Kantar, including seven years at Kantar Media where she is
Managing Director of the Target Group Index (TGI), the
industry-leading source of consumer intelligence. She has
previously held Director roles at other leading global market
research organisations, including BMRB and IPSOS.
Joining in 2021, Jane has
considerably strengthened The Lawyer's position as the most trusted
brand for the UK legal profession, developing its information
subscriptions business and expanding its international reach. The
Lawyer played a significant role in the successful delivery of the
Group's Margin Acceleration Plan 2023 (MAP23) strategy, which
targeted an EBITDA margin of 23% by 2023.
Swag Mukerji, Chief Executive,
commented:
"The Lawyer is central to our
ambition of becoming the business intelligence and learning partner
of choice for business leaders. Sarah joins The Lawyer at an
exciting time, as we look to build on the successful completion of
our MAP23 strategy and drive the next phase of growth. The Lawyer
is a leading provider of data and insight services to which Sarah
will help build an even stronger understanding of customers' needs,
supporting its focus on customer-centric growth.
Sadly, Jane has decided to leave the
organisation and I would like to thank her for her significant
contribution to The Lawyer. Jane has been instrumental in the
development of The Lawyer's offering, joining us at the start of
our ambitious MAP23 strategy in 2021 and playing a key role in its
successful delivery. I will be sorry to see Jane go; she leaves the
business in a position of strength, and we wish her well for the
future."
