Huntsworth has named Derek Mapp, chairman and non-executive director effective Dec. 1 to take the spot vacated by Lord Myners after a six-month run.
Mapp, whom Huntsworth calls a "serial entrepreneur," is founder of the Tom Cobleigh chain of pubs and Leapfrog Nurseries.
He was booted from his position as chairman of British Amateur Boxing Assn. in 2013 due to political opposition from Scotland, which felt fighters from Wales and England dominated the 2012 Olympic team, according to the BBC. He served five years.
Mapp, 64, also is non-executive chairman of media company Informa and Salmon Developments and chairman of Imagesound LTD.
