Schlesinger Hires Two Qual Leaders

US-based fieldwork provider Schlesinger Associates has appointed former TNS Ops Director Samantha Bacelieri-Centers as Operations Director of Schlesinger Qualitative, while Scott Baker joins the division as Vice President, Account Management, after sixteen years at Adept Consumer Testing.

The firm has a network of fourteen focus group facilities in the US, and also owns Paris-based fieldwork services agency ConsuMed Research and focus group facilities provider Passerelles; London firm The Research House; and Schmiedl Marktforschung, a fieldwork services agency and provider of focus group facilities in Germany.

Bacelieri-Centers joins from TNS in the UK, prior to which she spent six years at Ipsos Understanding Unlimited in Cincinnati, Ohio, latterly as Senior Manager, Operations. In her new role, she will oversee Schlesinger's recruitment and project management services across the US.

Baker brings both qual consumer and healthcare experience to his new position, which involves overseeing some of Schlesinger's key accounts. As President at Adept, he oversaw the firm's Los Angeles facility, project management and data collection solutions.
