IBMG Announces CEO Transition

IBMG has announced its CEO Martin Stables is stepping down to “pursue other opportunities”.

IBMG’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Richard Robinson has been appointed as Interim CEO, effective immediately, while maintaining his CFO duties during the brief transition.

Together with Martin, IBMG’s Board of Directors has been conducting a search for a permanent successor, which is expected to conclude over the course of the first quarter of 2026.

Martin steps down following the successful completion of a major transformation, says IBMG, leaving the company “well positioned for sustainable and profitable growth”. During his tenure, he helped to steer IBMG through a change of ownership, securing a significant refinancing package, and executing strategic initiatives.
