Kantar Media is delighted to announce the appointment of Rainer Fuchs to its Global Executive Team, effective September 8, 2025.
In his new role, as Chief Financial Officer, Rainer will report to Global CEO, Patrick Béhar, to drive Kantar Media’s next phase of growth as an independent entity under H.I.G. Capital ownership.
Rainer joins Kantar Media with extensive experience in CFO roles at Superstruct Entertainment and CSM Sport & Entertainment. Rainer transformed the finance function both at Superstruct and CSM, and spearheaded a comprehensive transformation programme that delivered significant operation improvements at CSM. He also brings experience in investment banking at Deutsche Bank and consulting at Roland Berger.
“I am delighted that Rainer is joining the Kantar Media family” said Patrick Béhar. “He has an exceptional track record as a two-time Chief Financial Officer, with invaluable experience in driving both growth and performance in the Media and Creative sectors under private equity ownership. This is the perfect timing as we embark on our new journey with our new owners, H.I.G. Capital. I am incredibly excited to partner with Rainer to drive our transformation and deliver outstanding results for our customers. I am also deeply grateful to Giles Richardson, who has successfully led the finance function as our interim CFO.”
Rainer Fuchs commented: “I am thrilled to join Kantar Media at such a critical moment for the company, as it transitions to new, fully independent ownership. Kantar Media is a clear leader in audience measurement globally, and I look forward to working closely with Patrick and the leadership team to transform the business”
