Opinium Hires in London and Amsterdam

Insight agency Opinium has appointed Mark Rowden as Head of IT, based in its London office, and Virginia Stecchini as a Senior Analyst, based in Amsterdam.

Rowden (pictured above) joins from PR and communications consultancy Lansons, where he worked for eleven years as IT Manager and then IT Director. Stecchini (below) spent the last eighteen months as a Junior Research Manager at MetrixLab in Rotterdam, and before that a similar period as a researcher LEXIS Richerche in Milan, Italy.

Opinium, which also has offices in New York and Cape Town, has been busy with senior promotions and appointments this year. In January it hired Matthew Barton as Senior Consultant, based in Amsterdam, supporting continued 'rapid growth' in Europe; and in April it promoted former Hall & Partners exec Wez Eathorne to the new role of Global Head of Brand, Comms & Product Research, seven years after he joined the company. In May it added ten more staff members to the list of its equity partners, and earlier this month it promoted four of its partners - Emily Dickinson, Debbie Shuttlewood, Josh Glendinning and Tom McEnery - to join CEO James Endersby on its Management Board.
