Suresh Ramalingam, CEO for South East Asia, comments: 'I am delighted to welcome Vicky to lead an important market for Ipsos. She is an effective business and people leader, and we look forward to continuing the business momentum we've been experiencing in the Philippines over the past year. I am positive that our level of client engagement and partnership will grow further together with our new services and capabilities'.

In her new role, Abad takes over from Lee, who joined in 2013 from TNS, where she held senior positions in the Philippines, Thailand and the US.
