EasyInsites Co-founder Jo Winning Joins Verve

Jo Winning, the co-founder of custom panel and community specialist EasyInsites, has left to join London-based Verve as Business Development Consultant.

Verve was launched in 2008 by the founders of Research Now, Hall & Partners and the iD Factor - Andrew Cooper, Mike Hall and Jon Gumbrell. Earlier this year, they closed a £0.75m round of funding and expanded their team with the appointment of five client-facing members of staff.

Winning (pictured) joins with more than twenty years' research experience. She began her career as a Research Executive at the BBC, and has since held senior roles at ITV, Counterpoint Research, Lightspeed Research and Research Now. In 2009, she worked with former colleague Charles Pearson to set up EasyInsites.

In her new role, Winning will work on new client development projects with Research Now founder Andrew Cooper, who comments: 'It's great to be working with Jo again - there are few people in the market with her depth of experience in online communities for research.'
