Leadership change at Savanta

News North America People UK

UK & US – Savanta’s global chief executive Roger Perowne has stepped down from the role, with Americas chief Vin DeRobertis succeeding Perowne in the global position.

Perowne was one of the founders of Morar and later chief executive of MIG Global when owner Next 15 formed Savanta from MIG’s data businesses – Morar, Viga, Charterhouse and Circle – in 2019.

Under his leadership, Savanta later merged its previous acquisitions Savanta ComRes, Savanta MSI, YouthSight and MindSpark to bring them into the company’s core offering rather than operating under individual brands. 

Perowne has now moved to become chair of the business.

Vin DeRobertis (pictured), based in New York, has been Americas chief executive at Savanta since the company launched, and prior to that, was chief strategy officer at MIG Global. He previously spent 10 years at Research Now.

DeRobertis also recently joined OnePulse as an adviser to the company’s board, as it looks to expand its global footprint.
