Two Hires for STRAT7 Incite

In London, strategic research and planning consultancy STRAT7 Incite has announced two new hires in its Health team: Tasleem Rehmatullah as a Principal and Douglas Airton as an Associate.

The company was founded by Sid Simmons and Elaine Kent-Smith, works across FMCG, health, financial services, tech, leisure and retail sectors, and is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week. It was acquired by British marketing group Kin + Carta in 2012 and then by the STRAT7 group of companies in 2021. STRAT7 Incite is now led by UK MD Lizzie Eckardt and Group MD Pranay Jeyachandran.

Rehmatullah (pictured above) worked for two years as Account Director at The Nursery Research & Planning and four at Cello Health, while Airton (pictured below) was a Data Analyst at DMG Media.

Head of Health Hannah Potter comments: 'We are thrilled to welcome Tas and Doug to our fast-growing team. Their combined experience is already having a positive impact helping us deliver actionable insights and driving strategic growth for our clients'.

Kent-Smith, who remains a Director of the company, says of the anniversary: 'Our ambition from day one was to fill a gap in the market by delivering commercial, evidence-led advice. That vision still guides how we work - a rigorous consultative approach fuelled by method-neutral, powerful insight. And whilst we have evolved considerably over the last 25 years, I'm so proud that we've maintained this vision and our core values every step of the way'.

Jeyachandran states: 'Reflecting on the 14 years since I joined Incite, it struck me that our identity has remained constant - not just our strength as critical thinkers - but intrinsically as individuals, there is a certain level of courage and strength of conviction which has earned the trust of our clients and underpinned the impact of our work. Our core remains the same as it was when I joined, despite all the changes over the years. And that DNA is what makes Incite still unique today'.
