D4t4 Solutions Plc announced that after 36 years with the Company, Peter Kear has indicated to the Board his wish to retire as Chief Executive Officer by the 30 June 2022. The Nomination Committee and Board have run an extensive process (involving both internal and external candidates) with a view to identifying a suitable individual to replace Peter and have concluded that Bill Bruno, the current Vice President of D4t4's US business is ideally suited to succeed him. Bill has had an active role in shaping the future strategy at D4t4 since he joined the Group in 2018 and is well-positioned to drive D4t4's next phase of growth. Bill has an in-depth understanding of the digital data industry having started his career in 2004 with Stratigent, where he rose to become president and CEO in 2009. Following Stratigent's acquisition by Ebiquity Plc in 2013, he continued to serve as its CEO until 2015 when he was promoted to become CEO (North America) for Ebiquity until 2018. There now begins a transition period through to Peter's retirement during which Bill's role will expand and during which he will work closely with Peter and the rest of the Board to effect a seamless and orderly transition. Bill's appointment to the board of D4t4 will become effective at the end of this transition period during which he will attend Board meetings of D4t4. Bill resides in the United States and will continue to do so once his appointment as CEO becomes effective. He will be spending at least one month a quarter in the UK moving forwards.
