MD and EVP Hires for HarrisX
Stagwell subsidiary HarrisX has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointments of former Ipsos and Magid researcher David Bilicic as EVP, Client Solutions & Innovation; and longstanding IHS Director Rebecca Lindland as Managing Director, Automotive & Mobility.
 Formed in 2017 from assets acquired from Nielsen, HarrisX combines behavioral data with attitudinal surveys, survey-based statistics and 3rd party data to help clients with their business decisions. The firm integrates proprietary syndicated data with custom research and in-depth expertise across twelve different sectors and in more than 40 countries worldwide.
Lindland brings more than twenty years' experience. She joins from Allison Worldwide, where she was MD, based in Los Angeles, and earlier worked for researcher Cox Automotive and the Automotive division at IHS, the latter for more than thirteen years.
Rebecca is already one of the world's foremost automotive researchers and brings her 20+ years of industry experience & leadership to the forefront. As a trusted advisor to automakers and marketing agencies alike, Rebecca is a prominent voice in the industry and has led the charge on analyzing the effects of new technologies and emerging markets and transforming these insights into actionable executive guidance.
Bilicic brings specific expertise in the travel, hospitality, and personal fitness industries. He most recently spent the last three and a half years at Ipsos, as SVP Strategic Growth, and before that served for five years at media researcher Magid. Earlier in his career he worked at GfK, Research Now, IRI, Lightspeed and Realeyes.
In their new roles, Bilicic will focus on expanding HarrisX's foothold in the hospitality, fitness, and trade organizations verticals; while Lindland will build and develop the firm's business in the Automotive and Transportation industries.
