Harding Leaves MRops for Harris Leadership Post

Industry veteran Jon Harding has left US data collection agency MRops after just seven months, to lead the sales team for Harris Interactive's Custom Solutions.

Harding (pictured), who has more than 25 years' industry experience, joined MRops in April as EVP, focusing on expanding partnerships into the Mid-West and Central regions. Prior to this, he was VP, Professional Services at Nielsen, Chief Strategic Advisor at Annik, President of US Client Services at TNS, and President of NFO USA (the US division of NFO WorldGroup, before its acquisition by TNS).

In his new role as Senior Vice President, Custom Solutions Sales, Harding says his remit will be to 'drive a successful sales model'.

Al Angrisani, President and CEO of Harris Interactive, comments: 'Jon is an accomplished business leader and sales expert with years of experience in leading and motivating highly effective sales teams, engaging new client relationships and delivering go-to-market strategies that achieve results. We will greatly benefit from his experienced insight into effective sales programs and results focused management.'
