Insig AI PLC - London-based data science and machine learning - Richard Bernstein moves to chief executive officer from executive chair, as CEO Colm McVeigh leaves the company immediately ‘to pursue other opportunities’. Insig AI says Bernstein will spend more time ‘engaging with asset managers, prospective customers and commercialising Insig’s product offering’.

Wilson is the CEO of Bulgin Ltd, a maker of sealed connectors and components, and is a non-executive director of Volex PLC.
