Kantar TNS Promotes for Myanmar MD Role

Kantar TNS has promoted Rowena Guerin to the position of Managing Director of its office in Myanmar. She will replace Jason Copeland, who is returning home to Australia at the end of the year.

The firm opened the office in 2013, claiming to be the first international consumer insights consultancy to secure a licence to officially conduct business in the country, which is also known as Burma. Guerin (pictured) was part of the senior leadership team which set up and helped establish the company in Myanmar, and most recently served as Director of Research. Prior to this, she ran her own London-based consultancy; was an AD at Nielsen in Indonesia; worked for Roy Morgan Research in Australia as Account Service Director; and was a Business Analyst at BT Syntegra in the UK.

Guerin will take up her position in January, and will report to Anne Rayner, Regional Chief Solutions Officer and CEO Myanmar and Cambodia. Adrian Gonzalez, CEO of North Asia, Southeast Asia and Pacific, comments: 'Rowena has been an integral part of the team that established Kantar TNS in the country, and has been an invaluable advisor to our clients there for five years now. I'd also like to thank Jason for his leadership and impact on the business in Myanmar. His passion and enthusiasm has helped shape the company and employees, and his expertise has built a strong reputation for Kantar TNS as marketers seek insights into this fascinating emerging market'.
