IP Group (LSE: IPO) Michael Queen appointed as NED and chair designate
Published by Liam O’Byrne

On 7 May, IP Group announced the appointment of Michael Queen as non-executive director and chair designate. Michael will succeed Sir Douglas Flint, CBE, as chair following the company’s AGM on 18 June 2026, when Sir Douglas will retire from the board after almost eight years of service.

Michael, who was formerly CEO of 3i Group, brings extensive investment and leadership experience to the role. He currently serves as chair of Coller Capital and Thames Tideway Tunnel and as a non-executive director of TAQA, a Middle East-based industrial group. The appointment concludes the chair succession process announced last year and supports IP Group’s continued focus on long‑term value creation and scaling institutional capital.
