Rep Data Hires Mark Tzatzaris as a Partner

In the US, data collection firm Rep Data has appointed former SurveyMonkey / Lucid exec Mark Tzatzaris as a Partner.

Founded last year by former Lucid / Research Now exec Patrick Stokes, New Orleans-based Rep Data connects with more than 250 panel suppliers across over 100 countries who compete against each for access to open quotas. The firm says that on average, a dozen panel companies will supply an individual project, which it claims leads to unbiased sample sourcing, more representative sample, and more cost-effective pricing than traditional sample vendors.

Tzatzaris (pictured) joins from SurveyMonkey (now called Momentive), where he served as Senior National Account Executive. Prior to this, he worked for sample marketplace Lucid as Senior Director, Business Development; Research Now (now Dynata) as Director, Client Development; and e-Rewards as Manager, Market Research Sales.

In his new role, Tzatzaris will support company growth by nurturing new business opportunities. Stokes comments: 'Over the past year, Rep Data has grown exponentially, due in part to how we've built our expert team. Mark is the perfect addition to help us continue to build on this growth, further develop our business, and help our clients achieve their business objectives when it comes to primary research data collection'.
