New CEO for American Directions

The Board of Washington, DC-based opinion researcher American Directions Research Group (ADRG) has appointed Kevin M. Kelly as its new Chief Executive, effective immediately.

Founded in 1986 and with all its operations exclusively based in the United States, the firm conducts telephone, online, mail and in-person surveys for a wide variety of businesses, federal government agencies and others.

Kelly brings more than two decades of insights, technology and leadership experience, most recently from global healthcare research firm APLUSA where he was COO; and before that from leadership roles at companies including RG+A, Healthcare Research and Analytics, Buzzback and Macro International.

Previous CEO, founder and Chairman Walter Clinton says of the choice: 'Kevin is a proven leader with a distinguished track record of technological innovation, talent development, and wide experience in the survey research insights business. He will continue the evolution of our services to clients with a focus on operational execution. One of Kevin's key strengths is the ability to integrate his technological expertise into the product/service development process to expand offerings needed by our clients'.
