Lightspeed Research Boosts UK Team

WPP-owned online research specialist Lightspeed has strengthened its office in Wimbledon, UK with three new project manager hires and a promotion.

Three new Project Managers joined in October 2010. Jeremy Weston spent the four previous years working for New Zealand agency UMR Research. He joined UMR straight from university; Cécile Van Der Eecken has been working in market research for three years, previously as a Market Research Analyst for the Aegis Media Group in Paris; and Fanny Roche has one year of experience from the Full Service Department of Research Now where she was a Project Executive.

David Tripepi has been promoted to PMO Project Manager, Technology, Global, from December. He has worked in Lightspeed's Client Operations department for six years and is currently a Client Operations Manager. In his new role, he will work at a global level, responsible for developing and implementing both business and technology initiatives that support the firm's strategic objectives.
