Milieu Appoints Southeast Asia CEO

Milieu Insight has named former NielsenIQ Director Cindy Pang as its CEO for Southeast Asia, effective immediately and leading the firm's regional strategy, commercial execution and growth.

Milieu's offering centres on a survey and data analytics software platform called Canvas, offering intuitive tools for survey design and distribution, data analysis, visualisation and reporting. Earlier this month it appointed another former NielsenIQ researcher, Gaurang Kotak, as its COO.

Pang (pictured) brings more than two decades of experience in consumer research, combining methodological expertise and commercial acumen. She joins from consumer data giant NielsenIQ where she spent three and a half years, and before this spent more than seven years at Research Plus, as well as serving shorter spells at Hall & Partners and as an independent consultant. Earlier in her career she worked client side, at companies including Visa, Intercontinental Hotels and BAT.

Milieu Group CEO Sundip Chahal says of the hire: 'Cindy's appointment marks an exciting milestone for Milieu Insight as we strengthen our ongoing commitment to Southeast Asia. She brings the kind of leadership we need at this stage of our growth. With a sharp commercial mind, a genuine passion for insights, and the regional expertise to nurture client relationships, I am confident that together, we will steer our market presence to the next level.'
