Key HR Appointment at Synovate

Global research firm Synovate has this week announced the appointment of Stuart Jones to Human Resources Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

'We are delighted that Stuart is joining us, to further bolster and complement our growing management team' said Nicos Rossides, CEO of EMEA. 'He brings to Synovate a wealth of experience gleaned from 20 years of HR practice, making him ideally suited for this newly created position'.

Stuart's last position was as Principal of White Light Consultancy, a specialist HR consulting firm in the UK with a varied blue-chip client base. Prior to this, he worked within the WPP Group, initially at J Walter Thompson and later at Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide as HR Director for EMEA.

At Synovate, Stuart will focus on the strategic development of the HR discipline within EMEA and help bring together and support the new network of offices in the region. 'With the recent launch of Synovate, this represents a tremendous opportunity to build upon the existing HR structure and further add value to the 'people' dimension of the Synovate brand', commented Stuart.

Stuart will be based at Synovate's EMEA head office in London and will report directly to Nicos Rossides.
