Cowry reshapes its management team

Following the successful integration with our new parent company, The VCCP Group, Cowry Consulting is implementing several measures to strengthen its management team as we enter 2024.

Effective February 1st, Ziba Goddard will assume the role of CEO, overseeing the UK business, with support from Raphy March, who will step into the position of Managing Director. Both Ziba and Raphy are original members of the founding team that established Cowry in 2015, along with Jez Groom, the Founder, and Will Saunders, the Chief Operating Officer.

We are also delighted to announce the promotions of Phoebe Kent and Sarah Murray to Consultant Directors. They will be joining the management team, contributing to the growth of our existing client base, and fostering new client relationships.

Will’s role as COO is also growing as he is now looking after operations for Cowry’s public sector arm, and setting up the business for success internationally.

As Cowry starts to work more with international clients and open new offices, Jez Groom’s role will be changing to International CEO to help Cowry grow its reputation and presence internationally.

“We had an incredible year in 2023: Joining VCCP Group, welcoming

new colleagues and clients, and delivering some fantastic work. While last year

was very much about ensuring consistency for the business and managing

change, we were also building a platform to look forwards and outwards at the

possibilities for behavioural science around the globe.

 

Cowry is all about transforming relationships and understanding how

businesses can adapt their communications and their practices to unlock their

potential – we’re looking forward to applying this to different scenarios across

cultural and geographic boundaries, learning more in the process.”

Jez Groom, Founder & International CEO

“We’ve done a great job over the past 12 months to set all of

our teams up for success. We planned for disruption but actually embedded

remarkably smoothly within VCCP.

 

This new management team represents upward growth and progression for

the business and for the strong team we’ve assembled to support our clients

and UK colleagues in this next phase.” 

Ziba Goddard, UK CEO
