Morning Consult
Washington DC-based consumer insights platform Morning Consult is expanding its Economic Research Unit with the appointment of two new members of staff.
The firm, which also has offices in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, surveys across the globe every day to assess what people think in real time, and determine how their decisions impact business, politics and the economy. In November, the company expanded its daily tracking survey on brands, economic conditions and geopolitical risk from fifteen to more than 40 countries.
Scott Brave joins as Lead Consumer Spending Economist after more than eighteen years at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, where he latterly served as Senior Economist, with responsibilities which included releasing the Chicago Fed's economic activity and financial conditions indexes. Lori Helwing joins the company as Financial Markets Economist, having spent the past four years as Director of Economic Research at the Rattner Family Office, conducting wide-ranging research on the US and global economies, fiscal and monetary policy as well as topical industry issues. Earlier, Helwing served as Chief Economist at Point72 Asset Management.
In their new roles, both report to John Leer, Chief Economist. In a statement, Morning Consult said: 'As part of our growing team of economists, Brave and Helwing will use Morning Consult's exclusive, high-frequency economic intelligence data to help global leaders make better business decisions'.
