Norstat Hires to Build Swiss Business

European data collection firm Norstat has appointed Raúl Fuertes as Business Development Director for its Swiss business, based in Zurich.

Norstat was established in Norway in 1997 and now has a presence throughout the Nordics and Baltic countries, as well as Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland and Ireland.

Fuertes (pictured left) brings fifteen years of market research experience, most recently from three years at panels firm Bilendi, helping to establish the business in Switzerland, and previously from eleven years Lp Marktforschung, in business development and project management.

In his new role he will lead commercial growth for sample-only, full service and digital solutions such as Norstat Dashboards and Norstat Express, across key market segments including academia, large enterprises and market research agencies. This work will build on TestingTime's Swiss presence, and also offer clients the benefit of the recent acquisition of Sample Solutions, bringing verified B2B recruitment.

Dave Lieber (pictured right), MD of Norstat Switzerland and TestingTime, comments: 'Raúl is a fantastic addition to our business, and we're delighted to have him. His local experience and client focus will help us strengthen our offering in Switzerland. TestingTime already has a well-established presence, and we will continue to build on that.'
