Incisive Media alumni Jim McGinty has joined Arc network as managing director of its financial services business, made up of former Incisive Media brands and Marketing in Partnership.

McGinty joins from IDG, where held a series of senior management roles culminating in European vice president of events.

Incisive Media was acquired in 2022 by Arc network, a $100M turnover global events, data and information business that includes ETC Network and Highquest Group in the US plus Agriconnect and BridgetoFood in the UK.

McGinty takes the Incisive reins from former divisional MD Kevin Sinclair, who has left the business to establish his own commercial services company. The brands under McGinty’s aegis are Investment Week, Professional Adviser, Professional Pensions, Cover, Investment IQ and Marketing in Partnership.

“I’m ecstatic to be joining Incisive Media at this point,” says McGinty. “We have unrivalled audience reach and a spectacular array of platforms and services that our customers can use to connect with those audiences, anchored in exceptional content and deep data. My discussions with the Arc leadership left me in no doubt about the scale of our ambition. I can’t wait to work with our talented teams to deliver that growth.”

“We are delighted that Jim has joined Arc at this pivotal moment for the UK Business, and for the financial services brands in particular,” said Arc network group CEO Simon Foster. “He brings a wealth of relevant experience that will allow us to accelerate the growth of the business and, as an incisive alumni, can really hit the ground running.”
