The firm was sold<\/a> last summer to London-based investment firm H.I.G. Capital, with the divestment reducing Kantar’s total revenue by around 15%. Kantar Media appointed Rainer Fuchs<\/a> as CFO in September, and former WPP Chief Exec Mark Read<\/a> as Chairman of its new Board of Directors, in November.\n<\/p>\n
