To further support the fast changing needs of a global market and to maintain our high quality delivery standards, we successfully restructured our operations under one central team to ensure the application of global best practices and a 24/7 workflow. Multi-country research is now supported operationally and managed by a central point under the direction of COO, Chris Stevens. We have also created two new positions to support our global infrastructure and project delivery. Bonnie Breslauer has been named Global Development Director, responsible for managing our global client relationships. Building on the best global online training program in the industry, Operations is supported by a new Director of Training and Development, Denise McGrew.
As multi-country research experts, we have successfully combined our global knowledge and operations with expanded local expertise. In the second quarter we added significantly to our infrastructure and global reach in terms of client service and panel delivery. Our growing global landscape is now supported by staff in Paris, France and Frankfurt, Germany. We have launched a new panel in Italy and will be announcing new panels in Sweden and Spain in the near future.
If one thing is certain, it's that the rest of the year promises to be fast moving. We will continue to introduce new and exciting developments throughout the year and I'm looking forward to sharing these with you. We are inspired about the industry's growth and acceptance of online data collection, the continual improvements in technology, and the opportunities we see in continually delivering the highest quality online research to our clients. We look forward to bringing continued value to your trusted business as your partner in online market research. |
