Managing partner Christophe Vergult said: “If we take our claim of becoming a true business partner to our global clients seriously, we need to make sure we have the right competences available where our clients operate.

He said that the company plans to open its door in New York in early 2012 before turning its focus on other parts of the world.

“InSites Consulting will speed up its investments in access to consumers in emerging markets,” Vergult said. “This also implies a further expansion our already multinational consulting team.”
