Digital data collection specialist Research Now has announced that MD, Americas Craig Stevens is to leave the business after a decade to pursue new opportunities, and that John Rothwell will step into his shoes.

Stevens Leaves Research Now; New MD AppointedAs MD, Americas, Rothwell takes immediate responsibility for the company's growth and profitability in the United States, Canada and Latin America. Until now, he has overseen the firm's Technologies division and global Supply organization, and in 1999 was the first employee of e-Rewards, Inc., the company which bought Research Now and then adopted its name four years ago.

Stevens, who will remain with the company through the end of June, comments: 'Research Now is a special company with exceptional leadership and talented, passionate employees in all areas of the business.

President and CEO Kurt Knapton commented: 'Craig has contributed tremendously to our organization's growth and success, for which we are very grateful.

Of Rothwell, he adds: 'I have worked closely with John in multiple capacities over the past twenty years. John's early success in growing the business was extraordinary, and his energy, passion for innovation, and understanding of our company make him an outstanding fit for this expanded role.'
