TNS Healthcare Hires Head of Client Service

TNS Healthcare has appointed Christine Corner as Head of Client Service for its UK International (UKI) division. Corner re-joins TNS with more than 15 years healthcare research consulting experience.

Most recently she was MD of Genactis, where she led the research and business development teams, as well as the Qualitative Center of Excellence. Prior to this, she was Joint MD and Head of European Business Development at NOP World Health, MD at the Strategic Marketing Corporation, and Research and Account Director at Silver Fern. Earlier in her career, she worked as Associate Director at TNS, and held market research roles at BMJ Publishing and RDA Strategic Marketing Consulting.

In her new position, Corner will partner with major pharma and biotech companies to create and implement multi-country research programs.

Mark Duckham, MD of UKI, said of the appointment: 'With Christine's knowledge across multiple therapy areas, her domestic and international research experience and her background in both the client and agency arenas, she brings a unique mix of critical skills to her new role, ensuring she can help customers achieve the best results, for every brand and in every market.'

Earlier this month, TNS Healthcare made three new senior hires in the US, and in April it launched a new service to help clients measure the effectiveness of their own and competitive sales calls.
