Chair
Iain started as the UKOM board Chair in April 2019, a time when trusted and effective measurement has never been more in demand. He has extensive advertising and media industry experience having been a director of BBH, co-founded a media agency and gone on to run Starcom, Mediavest and Publicis Media both in the UK and at an EMEA level. He holds a number of Chair, NED and Advisory Board positions, including serving on the Digital Advisory Board of Save the Children UK. Iain is married to Kathryn Jacob OBE, has two children and obsesses about cycling.
Chief Executive
Ian cut his teeth in media at ITV and went on to leadership roles at MindShare, Turner Broadcasting System, Specific Media, Trinity Mirror and InMobi. Appointed UKOM’s first CEO in 2015, Ian focuses on setting the vision, raising the profile and working with the leadership team to deliver an outstanding online audience measurement service on behalf of the UK industry. Away from the office, Ian is a father of three daughters, certain that Dorset is the best place to live in the UK, and a passionate fan of Scottish rugby.
General Manager

Julie has held senior research and insight roles at NOP (now GFK), Carlton Television, Microsoft Advertising, Xbox and AOL.

She is a (long-suffering) Arsenal season ticket holder and lives in London with her husband and two young children.
