Apollo Hires Dynata's Turner-Kerr as International MD

Apollo Intelligence has appointed former Dynata EMEA MD Colin Turner-Kerr as Managing Director, International.

Apollo was launched in 2020 by investment firm Saroras Private Capital, which also owns life sciences market intelligence firm InCrowd and healthcare data collection and custom survey solutions provider SHG (Survey Healthcare Global). Through these two companies, Apollo provides access to two million healthcare stakeholders worldwide - including physicians, patients, caregivers, and allied healthcare professionals - and supports pharma brands, MR agencies, and consultancies across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

Turner-Kerr (pictured) joins from first-party data platform Dynata, where he was MD EMEA for the Dynata Solutions Group, prior to which, he was MD, Europe for online survey and digital data specialist Critical Mix (whose parent company Reimagine Holdings was acquired by Dynata in 2019). Earlier in his MR career, Turner-Kerr was GMI's (Global Market Insite) Commercial Director (before its acquisition by Lightspeed/Kantar) and an Account Director at Mintel.

In his new London-based role, Turner-Kerr will initially take responsibility for the localization of Apollo's InCrowd brand. Daniel Fitzgerald, CEO of Apollo Intelligence, comments: 'With Colin heading up Apollo for our European brands, we can rapidly meet the local research and operational needs of our global clients and help them accelerate their innovation. Colin is a tremendously skilled addition to our senior team. He has a keen eye for opportunity, and I expect him to make a significant impact in Europe.'
