Rep Data Hires Former Research Now Exec as COO

In the US, data collection firm Rep Data has hired former Research Now ops exec Jeremy Antoniuk as Chief Operations Officer.

Founded a year ago former Lucid / Research Now exec Patrick Stokes, New Orleans-based Rep Data connects with more than 250 panel suppliers across over 100 countries who compete against each for access to open quotas. The firm says that on average, a dozen panel companies will supply an individual project, which it claims leads to unbiased sample sourcing, more representative sample, and more cost-effective pricing than traditional sample vendors.

Antoniuk (pictured) joins after a stint at Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, where he served as Director of Operations. Before this, he worked for research software firm FocusVision as Chief Service Officer/ VP, Global Operations; he was COO at Deep Cognition; and he spent eight years at Research Now, latterly as SVP, Operations and Global Delivery, having earlier spent six years at parent company eRewards. In addition, Antoniuk is listed as an inventor on four US patents related to Internet traffic routing, quota management, mobile data collection and data integration.

In his new role, Antoniuk will lead the Operations group, comprising service delivery, technology, HR and finance. Stokes comments: 'Jeremy is an innovative thinker who has vast experience leading operations teams at technology companies, resulting in tremendous growth opportunities. His consultative approach fits perfectly with the ethos of our team'.
