Verve Hires in Chicago, Sydney and London

Culture, community panels and smart digital research specialist Verve has made five senior research appointments across its hubs in Chicago, Sydney and London.

The firm, which also has offices in Manchester, UK, and Romania, uses commonly adopted technology to gather feedback, and integrates multiple data sources to deliver more in-depth insight. In Chicago, Gina Gapp has been named Research & Consulting Director, with more than twelve years' experience in qualitative and quantitative research. Most recently, she served as VP Consumer Goods and Services at Maru, before which, she worked for Kantar Millward Brown as Senior Director, Client Leadership, and she was Director of Market Research at foodservice and restaurant specialist CHD Expert.

Erik Moses also joins the Chicago team as Associate Director, from PDT, where he spent seven years at Research & Design Manager. In his new role, Moses will build out Verve's ignite@VERVE proposition in the US. Lauren Irwin joins the Australian team as a Senior Consultant in the Sydney hub. She previously held roles at Consulting by Kantar and Lucid. In London, Katrien Gunn joins as Director, and Rachel Skry as Associate Director - both in Verve's research team. Gunn, who previously spent six years in a Director role at online community specialist Incling, and before which, worked in various roles at C Space, will work across a number of key client accounts, and also brings UX experience to build out Verve's UX offer with UX lead Jodie Holland. Skry joins the London team as an Associate Director, after working at Ipsos in the Corporate Reputation team, specialising in the technology and consumer sectors.

Founder and CEO Andrew Cooper comments: 'We're proud to welcome such a talented group to the team, particularly against the backdrop of what is a very challenging recruitment market. Great people help us win and retain great clients and I'm confident that Gina, Erik, Lauren, Katrien and Rachel will help us do exactly that.'
