uSamp Hires for New German Office

Online research tech company uSamp has opened an office in Frankfurt, Germany and hired Susanne Minneker and Catherine Gibbon who will be based there.

The firm previously had a sales-only presence in Frankfurt, announced two years ago, but will now build up a German team. MD for Europe Ben Leet says the company is experiencing solid growth in its European business and the latest move is 'testimony to its long term commitment to this market'.

Minneker, who joins as Account Director, uSamp Germany, brings more than twenty years of business development and industry experience, and was previously a Senior Account Executive at Forrester Research. Earlier, she worked in sales and account management for Textkernel, Stylesight and Business Wire.

Gibbon takes the role of Senior Marketing Manager for uSamp in Europe, working with the existing UK office. She has worked in marketing and management consulting roles in companies including Capgemini, GE and Lloyds TSB.

CEO Alan Gould (pictured) comments: 'uSamp has been hugely successful in Europe over the last twelve months. Further investment into the region will help us achieve our goal of attracting new clients who value our guarantee of high quality.'

uSamp is based in Los Angeles and has a total of five offices in the US, Europe and Asia. Web site: www.usamp.com .
