Services
I have been working primarily as a freelance qualitative researcher for the last 15 years, both for research agencies and direct with certain clients. Much of my experience has been on multinational projects and can manage projects from A to Z, including providing a consolidated global debrief.
Alternatively, I can also provide a more “ad hoc” service, moderating and providing a local debrief here in France (where I’m based) as part of a larger multinational project for example.
As an ex ad agency planner, I have a good grasp of the broader marketing and communications objectives and issues, and my approach is to always provide clear, pragmatic and actionable recommendations.
Being American by birth, raised in England, I can equally moderate groups in UK and US and travelling is not a problem for me !
