Iain Ferguson placed into FutureDeluxe as Non-Executive Chairman by La Fosse Executive

Iain Ferguson joined global creative studio FutureDeluxe as non-executive chairman. His appointment comes off the back of private equity firm Queen’s Park Equity’s (QPE) partnership with FutureDeluxe to accelerate its growth further. FutureDeluxe utilises cutting edge technology to create futuristic aesthetics for branding and marketing purposes.

Partnering with La Fosse Executive and Louis Rado to place Iain, FutureDeluxe and QPE have secured someone who will provide key experience and expertise to FutureDeluxe’s future strategic and cultural planning.  

Iain Ferguson is an experienced chairman, independent director, shareholder and advisor to a number of digital/technology companies and business services. He previously held the positions of EVP and Member of the Group Executive Committee at Savas SA in New York and Paris, where he was CEO of Worldwide Marketing Services. He later led a successful IPO of Mission Marketing Group plc. 

La Fosse took the brief from QPE and compiled a bespoke job description that was shared with selected candidates. A series of screening calls and interviews followed to create the shortlist of high-quality candidates for QPE and the FutureDeluxe team. Furthermore, La Fosse Executive used their wealth of experience, data, and in-depth market knowledge to prepare a renumeration package that was the most beneficial and suitable to both client and candidate. 

Iain Ferguson spoke of his delight to be joining FutureDeluxe: 

“FutureDeluxe creates the most tantalising content for its spectacular portfolio of future facing clients. I’m looking forward to working with our partners […], and the whole Future family, in helping to build this wonderful creative business” 

Louis Rado from La Fosse Executive, who placed Iain Ferguson, said: 

“I thoroughly enjoyed working on this Chairman search with Nick Manning and the Queen’s Park Equity team, who were always highly professional and very receptive to our advice and feedback throughout. FutureDeluxe was such an attractive proposition for an incoming Chairman that the job was made a lot easier for us. Their treatment of us and every candidate they met was exceptional. 

Louis further commented that: 

“We found a brilliant Chairperson in Iain Ferguson, who was the perfect fit for a number of reasons, and who was also extremely responsive and a joy to deal with from start to finish”.
