Non-profit organisation Women in Research (WIRe) has added three new members to its 2021 advisory board: Danielle Todd, Insights Director at Relish Research; Roddy Knowles, VP of Research at Feedback Loop; and Sima Vasa, Senior Advisor at Oberon Securities.

The three will help WIRe grow and manage its global presence, and hone its organizational and programming strategy. Todd, who was ESOMAR Young Researcher of the Year runner-up in 2013, is WIRe's London event lead and will serve as its WIRe's international event liaison. Knowles is an award-winning author, and champion of research innovation and best practices, currently serving as US Representative for ESOMAR, President of the Insights Association Southeast Chapter, and board member at MRII. Vasa's expertise spans P&L management, operations, business development, marketing, entrepreneurship and investment banking: she is a former Chairman of SampleCon, board member of Paradigm Sample, which she co-founded, and host of the Data Gurus podcast.

Existing board directors JD Deitch, Alisa Hamilton and Begonia Fafian will retire in accordance with their term. WIRe Founder Kristin Luck says of the new arrivals: 'As the role of Market Research continues to evolve, I can't think of three more qualified voices to help steer our organization as we continue in our pursuit of a more just and equitable industry'.

WIRe, which along with ESOMAR is a job board partner of MrWeb, is online at www.womeninresearch.org .
