Opinion Leader, part of the Research & Engagement Division of Chime, today announced the appointment Adam Palenicek, who is joining from Ipsos MORI. Palenicek, who will join in the position of Associate Director, has extensive health and public sector experience, and will help bolster the Division’s offering in this area.
Crispin Beale, Chief Executive at the Research and Engagement division of Chime, commented, “The business is seeing significant expansion at the moment so it’s vitally important that we have the best possible team onboard. Adam brings with him a wealth of knowledge in our key sectors, so I’m very confident that he’ll make a tremendous contribution to the business”.
This latest appointment is the most recent in a long line of senior promotions that has seen key individuals in client-side and agency positions alike poached by Beale. Only a few days ago an announcement was made about the appointment of Dominic Scott-Malden, ex-qualitative MD at Hall and Partners, and prior to that, Shaendel Hallett of DSGi and Michael Thompson of GfK NOP.
Sinéad Jefferies, Director at Opinion Leader, commented, “I am thrilled to welcome Adam to Opinion Leader and am very excited about the way in which we are continuing to building our team here in London – as a business we are really going from strength to strength”.
Adam, who currently works with a broad range of public sector clients, has extensive experience in delivering insightful and actionable solutions to clients across a wide variety of research methodologies. He joined Ipsos on the graduate scheme in 2003 and has continued to progress his career through the company; Adam graduated from the London School of Economics with an MSc in Organisational Psychology & Research Methods in 2003.
