Toluna Builds MENA Team and Panels

Online community and survey tech provider Toluna has expanded its presence in the MENA (Middle East, North Africa) region, through the recruitment of three industry veterans and the launch of proprietary panels in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and UAE.

In August, the company opened an office in Dubai, UAE, after investing in in-region respondent and community recruitment efforts. Toluna has now hired former OnDevice Research/Ipsos execs Abboudy Gogo and Rania Ayoub as Client Team Manager and Client Service Manager respectively; while Sakina Mannan joins from Millward Brown as an Account Manager.

In addition, the company has been developing the new panels in the region. Nader Kobeissi (pictured), General Manager of Toluna MENA, comments: 'We're excited to build our team, and capability in the Middle East. Our approach, and research platform are appealing to businesses in the region as they are quick to adopt disruptive research solutions.'
