YouGov boss feels the heat after share price collapse

YouGov (YOU) chief executive Steve Hatch has only been in the hot seat for 18 months, but a already scathing shareholder letter has called for his removal in a bid to revive the Aim-traded data company’s ailing share price. Is the current boss set for the chop?

In the letter to YouGov’s board last week, activist investor Gatemore called Hatch’s tenure “a disaster” and argued that “the market has lost faith in his leadership”. Gatemore, which bought into the company last year, had already called for a strategic review adn possible sale of the business last November.
