SKIM Hires to Grow French Business

Dutch insights-based consultancy SKIM has appointed Adrien Bourgeois as Relationship Director, based in Paris and responsible for driving the growth of client partnerships in France.

SKIM was founded in 1979 in Rotterdam by Dirk Huisman, and offers a combination of choice-modelling and expertise in decision-making behaviour. Its US operations are based in Hoboken, NJ, and in September last year it opened its fourth European office, in Paris.

Bourgeois (pictured) will lead SKIM's growth in the French market and prioritize providing local, in-language support for clients in the region. He brings more than ten years of experience in business data, including four years at B2B MR and data firm Potloc, eighteen months at luxury brands experience firm CXG, and spells at IWD, Lectra and SimpliField.

Co-CEO Karin Lieshout comments: 'Adrien's consultative style and growth mindset will be valuable as he begins his role at SKIM. With an emphasis on client partnerships and a depth of experience in market research, Adrien is poised to positively influence his fellow SKIMmers, our clients, and the evolution of the French market'.
