Schlesinger Swaps San Francisco and Chicago Leaders

US-based fieldwork provider Schlesinger Associates has transferred Pam Lintner from San Francisco to Chicago to oversee its Midwest market, while Scott Baker will take her place in San Francisco, overseeing West Coast markets.

The firm has a network of fourteen focus group facilities in the US, and also owns Paris-based fieldwork services agency ConsuMed Research and focus group facilities provider Passerelles; London firm The Research House; and Schmiedl Marktforschung, a fieldwork services agency and provider of focus group facilities in Germany.

Lintner, who serves as Vice President of Qualitative Solutions, joined the firm in 2004 from Qfact Marketing Research where she served as Project Manager. Prior to this, she worked for Delve and Saperstein Associates. In her new role, she will oversee Schlesinger's facilities in Downtown Chicago, Chicago O'Hare, and St Louis.

Baker, who recently joined the company as Vice President, Account Management, previously spent sixteen years at Adept Consumer Testing, latterly as President.

Commenting on the news, Debby Schlesinger-Hellman, EVP, Schlesinger Qualitative, said: 'These moves reflect our strategic mission to deliver the highest quality support and account management for our clients. Pam and Scott were chosen for these roles because of their depth of knowledge, passion for research and commitment to strengthen client partnerships.'
