Travel and Tourism Veteran Joins Ipsos

In Canada, Ipsos has recruited former Harris Interactive travel industry researcher Jim Quilty as VP of its own Travel and Tourism division.

Quilty joins with 15 years' experience in the travel and tourism industry. For the past five years, he was leader of Harris Interactive's Travel and Tourism practice. Prior to that, he held sales and marketing positions at Sabre Holdings in both the Travel Network and Airline Solutions business units. He has a degree in Business Administration (Finance) from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.

In his new role, Quilty will work collaboratively across all Ipsos divisions to share his vision for the travel industry. He will also work closely with Dave Pierzchala, VP with Ipsos Reid in Canada, and co-manage the firm's travel and tourism specialization across North America.

'Jim has a deep passion and understanding for the research needs of travel and tourism clients,' commented Steve Mossop, President of Ipsos in Vancouver. 'His background in sales, marketing, and P&L management, along with travel expertise, complements our growing travel and tourism division in North America.'
