This follows the decision by current MD Craig Stevens to leave the business. Stevens will remain with Research Now until the end of June, having been with the company for 10 years.

“I have worked closely with John in multiple capacities over the past twenty years,” said Research Now’s president and CEO, Kurt Knapton.

“John’s early success in growing the business was extraordinary, and his energy, passion for innovation, and understanding of our company make him an outstanding fit for this expanded role. With the momentum we are seeing in our organisation, I expect a smooth transition as Craig hands the baton to John.”
