Harding to Advise Outsourcing Firm

Jon Harding, a former President of TNS US Client Services, is to work with Indian MR outsourcing firm Annik Technology Services Pvt. Ltd as a Chief Strategist, providing guidance, training and strategic input to Annik's sales and operations teams.

CMO Vineet Malhotra says Harding will guide the teams in developing new accounts and enhancing its client support structure.

Harding has more than 20 years' experience of managing and growing large client relationships in the US. He was President and COO of NFO Research, and subsequently President of NFO USA, the US division of NFO WorldGroup, prior to its acquisition by TNS.

Established in 2000, Annik provides MR support, data analysis, data management and programming support to clients around the world, and has ISO 27001 certification. President and CEO Rahul Sahgal comments: 'We are delighted to have an industry leader and research professional of Jon's stature who has such distinguished credentials on board at Annik... His insights and direction will be crucial during this stage of our evolution as we manage large partnerships and add value to customer processes.'

Harding says Annik has 'one of the best and the most experienced management teams' of the many Indian outsourcing firms he has knowledge of. 'Their team has worked in the US and clearly understands the research requirements for the US market... I am delighted to be associated with such a wonderful organization.'
