Former MSI and KJT Healthcare Specialist Joins Leger

Long-time MSI researcher Katy Palmer has joined Canadian polling and insights firm Leger as SVP, Health.

Leger employs more than 300 people in eight offices across Canada and the United States, making it 'the largest Canadian-owned market research and polling firm in the country.' In November it announced its fifteenth acquisition to date, that of fellow Canadian insights firm Element54, a specialist in advertising research. The firm has in-depth experience in healthcare and medical studies as well as health and wellness products, and powers the Leo Medical community of healthcare professionals.

Palmer (pictured) worked until recently as SVP Strategic Accounts at evidence-based healthcare consulting firm KJT Group, which she joined in 2023.

She brings more than two decades of experience in life science commercial insights, including nearly eighteen years at MSI (Market Strategies International), latterly as Chief Solution Officer and Managing Director, Health. Since leaving its parent company Escalent in mid-2020, she has worked at Phoenix MI and Reach3 Insights, between spells as a consultant. She earned a PhD in immunology and infectious disease from Washington University in St. Louis, and a BA in Biology from Lake Forest College.
