Synovate has appointed Amaury de Condé as CEO of Southern Europe and Managing Director of Synovate in France, to oversee all aspects of its business in France, Italy, Belgium and Greece, with the MDs of the last three countries reporting to him.

de Condé joins with more than 25 years' market research experience, across multiple regions. For the past three years he worked at Ipsos, where he led product strategy and innovation for the consumer goods sector. Prior to that he spent 12 years at TNS, in a series of senior management roles, including overseeing the worldwide division to create and commercialise customised products.

Earlier, de Condé drove the launch of MarketingScan in France, serving as its CEO, and spent ten years at AC Nielsen where he built and managed the company's FMCG business.

'Amaury's passion and energy for market research as well as his client focused approach make him the perfect choice to further build our client relationships in France and beyond,' states Peter Huijboom, CEO for Synovate Geographies. 'His leadership, combined with the strength of our existing teams, will help drive the next phase of growth and investment in these markets for research globally.'

de Condé begins his post with Synovate on 7 March, after he relocates back to Paris from the US where he has spent the last ten years.
