Lame duck Kantar CEO Eric Salama is stepping down immediately.

According to a statement from the Kantar board, Salama will be "on garden leave" until the end of June.

The board said the timing was “right” for Salama to step down now, following the delivery of its 2020 growth plans.

Kantar’s executive committee is leading the business until an appointment of a new CEO.
