Yana Peel has stepped down as chief executive officer of London’s Serpentine Galleries following a controversy over investments made by her husband’s private equity firm in an Israeli cybersecurity company.
Peel was scrutinized in a Guardian newspaper report last Friday for the holding in NSO Group, which has come under criticism over the use of its software for surveillance by government authorities. Novalpina Capital LLP, where Stephen Peel is a co-founder, said at the time that it acquired a majority stake in NSO Group in March and is working with the company on governance changes.
