Directions Launches Dedicated Tech Solutions Group

In the US, Directions Research has launched a dedicated Technology Solutions group which will manage all aspects of data flow, from programming and sampling to internal and client-facing data management software.

The firm, which is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio with regional offices around the country, provides research across a broad range of sectors from CPG and financial services to pharma and telecoms. Its new Technology Solutions group will be co-led by recently promoted Phillip Thrash, SVP, Head of Technology; Jim Linz, VP, Business Intelligence and Technology; and Mike Herrel, Director of Development. Thrash joined Directions as its fifth employee in 1989.

Under our 'Client is King' philosophy, we continue to strengthen our ability to provide insights when, where, and how our clients need to meet the demands of their business'.
