Myers joins from Ipsos US where he also lead the marketing research team. He joined the company in January this year with the acquisition of Synovate, where he was responsible for North American consumer packaged goods and automotive research.

He also has broad financial services experience from positions with American Express and Barclays Bank.

Myers replaces Susan Malcolm, who joined the firm last September from Nielsen. It is unclear at this stage whether she has left the company or is moving to a new role within the business.
