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."
