Worldpanel by Kantar

After 30 impactful years at Kantar and nearly two decades leading Worldpanel by Kantar, Josep Montserrat has announced his decision to step down from his role as Chairman at the end of the year. In Josep’s own words: "At Worldpanel, I truly believe we built something very special together. It was an honour and a privilege to lead such an incredible team—always passionate, positive, and striving to make a difference. You have been a source of inspiration and energy, helping me grow as a leader and as a person."   Under Josep’s leadership, Worldpanel transformed into the global powerhouse it is today: tripling in size, doubling our team, and expanding into 50 markets. His vision propelled Worldpanel into new sectors, introduced pioneering data panels, and led the shift to digital and mobile data collection.   Since becoming Chairman in 2021, Josep has continued to shape our path, offering wisdom and guidance that have left a lasting mark. As Kantar's CEO Chris Jansen notes: "Over the course of the last 30 years Josep has had a profoundly positive, and everlasting impact on both the direction and performance of Worldpanel. Josep should be incredibly proud of his contribution and leaves a legacy that we both value, and hugely appreciate. On a personal level, in the 3 years I have been in my role, Josep has been so generous with his time, extremely thoughtful in his contribution, and exceedingly helpful to me as I’ve got to grip with a new company and industry."   Josep, gràcies, thank you from all of us. 💚   Join us in celebrating Josep’s remarkable legacy in the comments below!
