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".

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