Kelly Beaver accelerates the execution
of the Horizons strategic plan
Paris, September 14, 2026 – During an investor presentation to be held today, Kelly Beaver, Chief Executive Officer of Ipsos, will provide an update on “Horizons”.
Appointed Chief Executive Officer of Ipsos on July 30, 2026, Kelly Beaver confirms “Horizons”, the strategic plan developed since early 2025 and presented at the Investor Day last January. This plan is built around six pillars: Growth of our global solutions, Strong local presence, Speed, Artificial intelligence, Access to real people, Data integration and analytics.
The priority now is to accelerate its execution to drive Ipsos’ growth.
Kelly Beaver, Chief Executive Officer of Ipsos, stated: “More than ever, our clients need reliable and timely information to understand their markets and make the right decisions. This represents a structural opportunity for Ipsos.
Horizons is the right strategy. Our priority now is to accelerate its execution and translate it into results more quickly, particularly as our performance since the beginning of the year has fallen short of our ambitions.
I am confident in our ability to deliver because we have unique strengths: talented and highly engaged teams, a global presence, deep multi-specialist expertise, access to high-quality data, and strong capabilities in technology and artificial intelligence.
I am proud to launch our new corporate campaign, Augmented Ipsos:
Augmenting Speed, Augmenting Insights, Augmenting Trust
To turn complexity into clarity. And clarity into impact.”
