Rigour Research has appointed Robert Pierson SVP Americas, positioning the company for 'a dynamic and impactful entry into the US market.'

London-based Rigour provides data collection and analysis services for clients including independent research consultants; small to medium market research agencies; public relations firms; media; and major international corporations.

Pierson (pictured) brings more than twenty years' experience of consultative sales in market research and related industries, most recently from agile research tech and niche panels firm Borderless Access, where he was Head of Business Development for the US and Canada, then SVP Americas and MD. Before this he led sales for the Americas region at Kantar Profiles, and earlier he spent five years at 451 Research and two and a half at RepTrak. For the past two years he has served as a board member of the British American Business Council in Chicago.

The company welcomes his 'deep knowledge of market positioning, white space mapping and his expansive network', and adds: 'We look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead as we expand our reach and reinforce our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients.'
