Federated Sample Adds Former Research Now Director

Sampling automation specialist Federated Sample has appointed former Research Now director Peter Costa as Executive Director, Client Development.

The firm was launched in 2010 by New Orleans-based research technology start-up Jackson Square Group (JSG). Last year, its Fulcrum sample management and exchange platform was spun off as an independent division.

Costa (pictured) joins after more than eight years at Research Now, latterly as Senior Director, Client Development, overseeing sales for the Northeastern US. Before this he worked for the firm's parent company eRewards as Sales Manager.

Andy Ellis, President of Federated Sample, comments on the appointment: 'Peter's rich experience working with market research customers in a consultative fashion to uncover the best solutions for their business is perfectly matched to help these same sample buyers discover the benefits of programmatic sampling - specifically improved quality, speed and cost.'
