Statement

I am a widely renowned expert in the marketing & data science space, with a track record for innovation and excellence. I have managed large global Marketing & Data Science practices, with up to 100 science professionals. I am also a regular contributor to industry conferences and publications, with many awards for this work. I have a long history of teaching for MRS & ESOMAR.

I joined the ESOMAR Council two years ago. During my current term of office, the two main areas I have worked in are DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and the Vertical Expansion of ESOMAR's offering. Diversity &Inclusion has long been a passion of mine. It's critically important to the Insights industry that we ensure that our professionals reflect the society we seek to understand. This requires positive action to recruit widely from across society; and to support people from the widest range of backgrounds and experiences to build successful careers. We must also ensure that the research we do is fully representative of the populations we seek to represent, both in the way we select samples and how we ask questions of respondents.

I have been working as part of the Council to build resources to support members in both of these endeavours. Expansion of ESOMAR offerings is critical, as the industry evolves to understand consumers in an increasingly complex world. The development of truly integrated insight requires the ability to draw information from different sources, survey data, behavioural & transactional data, streaming data, digital & social media data. We need to develop understanding of Data Science and AI to meet these challenges. And to bring these new skill sets into our industry. A key initiative I have been working on is to reposition ESOMAR to expand our offering in this area. I would dearly love to continue as a Council member. To use my experience to further the ESOMAR mission, and to help keep ESOMAR at the forefront of the evolution of the Insights industry.

Statement

Hello, my name is Martha Llobet. Once again, I want to reiterate my candidacy for the council. I feel it is time for me to give back after all this incredible profession has given me. Graduating from a Spanish university, I started my career in MR in London. Since then, I have worked hard to maintain the link between the English-Spanish speaking worlds. I have worked for large multinational MR companies and also for local agencies. You may have seen me at conferences all over the world, also being involved in different associations such as AQR and QRCA.

The policies I intend to promote if elected to this Board, would be linked to the following two points: Local & Global Connections. At present and due to my professional career, I have solid connections between the UK and the US with Europe, Brazil and other LATAM countries.

I put this background to good use in order to:

• Support an on-going dialogue with the community, helping in whatever the association considers appropriate, for example, in initiatives that are already underway such as Local Network, Local Community Events or Community Circles.

• Raise awareness of the association to potential members, especially local agencies in Southern Europe and LATAM.

  Young Talent & Diversity. Following ESOMAR's current approach, which already has some very powerful initiatives (Young ESOMAR Society (YES!, YES Awards, Research Got Talent, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, etc.), a challenge that I consider important to address is the recruitment of new talent around the world.

I think now is the perfect time to approach universities as an association and introduce our profession in a more attractive way. We can contribute so much, not only knowledge, but also creativity and diversity. I end this statement by leaving the vote for your consideration. It would be a great pleasure for me to become a member of this Council, to listen to the needs of ESOMAR and to give the best of me to this association, which I greatly admire.

Statement

Dear ESOMAR colleague, In a few days there will be a Council election and your vote is very valuable. Please let me share with you why I believe I can bring value to the next Council. - Promote the reconversion of ESOMAR's value proposition. ESOMAR has the same challenge as any organization: adapt its value proposition to the new post-Covidworld. Over the last few years, the Council has been working on the definition of a new value proposition, the implementation of which I am committed to promoting over the next two years.

Giving more relevance to professional development During the pandemic there was clearly an increased demand from the Insights community for quality training and publications, and ESOMAR has responded very positively. We have an excellent opportunity to further boost to these areas, with agreements with universities and by developing training courses for both Insights providers and users.

Continuing to build bridges Just as we`ve been working during the past two terms, ESOMAR must continue building bridges and aim to complement and collaborate with local, regional, and global associations in both specific and multisector fields from our industry. ESOMAR members are often also members of other associations, and we are all looking for the same thing: to be better professionals and to do better business.

We should also continue to integrate professionals from fields that have become more relevant to ours, such as software and hardware developers who help produce strategic information for businesses. In the past 4 years I have successfully contributed to rebuilding and strengthening ties with associations in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Peru, and I helped to appoint Repsin 3 countries where we hadn't any.

I will continue collaborating with the organization of local events, seeking exchanges between different regions, and helping to create a local association where there is none.

Activities

Member of the Council for the period 2019-2020, re-elected for 2021-2022 and appointed as Treasurer. As such, I advocated and was much involved in the implementation of Dynamic Pricing, the change in the profile of the investment portfolio, the staff salary adjustments, and the transition process following the resignation of the CEO.

In line with my philosophy of promoting the generation of shared knowledge among colleagues from different countries, I was Speaker, Program Committee Member and Program Committee Chair in several LATAM Conferences in Mexico, Santiago de Chile and Punta del Este.

During the pandemic I co-hosted and was a speaker at several online events in Spanish and Portuguese to help keep the Insights community together: Flagship Series, Community Circles, Brazil at Home, among others.

• ESOMAR representative in Uruguay from 2002 to 2018.

I organized several events about the publication of public opinion polls, methodological challenges and eventual regulations: -

• "Elections and publication of opinion polls" on behalf of ESOMAR and ADIMU (Uruguayan Association of Researchers), (2003). -

• "Public Opinion and Market Research: Problems and Methodological Challenges", on behalf of ESOMAR and ADIMU (2004). -

• "ESOMAR BEST OF Uruguay", as part of the 2nd Uruguayan Market Research Conference (2012). -

• "Does Regulation Contribute to a BetterDemocracy?" on behalf of CEISMU (the Uruguayan Association of Market Research Companies) and ESOMAR, in the Uruguayan Chamber of Deputies, bringing together researchers, academics, journalists and members of the Uruguayan government.

Thanks to this event it was possible to deactivate a bill which sought to seriously limit the freedom to publish voting intention polls. I drafted an alternative bill which is currently being considered by Parliament.

Education

• Superior Diploma on Specialized Studies (DESS) on the Economics of the Agro-Food Sector and RuralDevelopment Strategy (1988)

Grupo RADAR is a full service Market, Social and Public Opinion Research company (www.gruporadar.com.uy).

I'm a solid expert in all research methodologies, from the technical direction and direct supervision of more than 1,800 qualitative and quantitative projects in Uruguay and 20+ countries. I've been a pioneer in disruptive innovations in the Insights sector: Radar was the first Uruguayan company to carry out CATI based surveys Iocally and abroad through IPtelephony; and Radar was the first Uruguayan company to apply AI to market research, among other innovations. In 2016we stopped having physical offices and moved to 100% remote work. Professor at Universidad ORT Uruguay since 1993.

I was Associate Professor of Marketing between 1996 and 2005. I have taught Strategic Marketing and Market Research courses in undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including the MBA and the Diploma in Marketing Management.

Statement

My name is Alina Serbanica, and I am proud to be standing as a candidate for the Council of ESOMAR, an organisation I am deeply committed to. I have worked in our industry for over 30 years, including 17 at Ipsos, where I lead a global function. Many of you may know me from ESOMAR congresses and events and as the ESOMAR Representative for Romania.

I have fulfilled this role since 2010 and have been awarded three times by ESOMAR for my outstanding contribution as a national representative. I am the President of the Romanian Market Research Association since 2018. I am a very active member of ESOMAR. I have organised many large-scale industry events both in my country and in the Central and Eastern Europe region.

I liaise with the Professional Standards Committee of ESOMAR on reviewing industry guidelines; and I also work on the annual Global Market Research report. During the pandemic ESOMAR started a process of deep transformation. This focusses on understanding the accelerated demand for consumers' insight and analytics; on adopting technology and artificial intelligence; on reducing the gaps across geographies as research buyers expect "best in class" services; on lobbying in front of the policymakers to protect our industry's interests when privacy and cybersecurity regulations adopted.

ESOMAR recognises that this transformation would not be profound without building suitable bridges between professionals, no matter where they live or work. Driven by such context and empowered by my multi-cultural professional background, my expertise in market research, and my extensive activities across the industry over many years, I present myself to you today as a strongly motivated candidate, with a sound foundation.

You have my firm commitment that, if elected, I would work hard to continue the transformation agenda to the benefit of ESOMAR and the community of professionals you and I are part of. I would do so with integrity, professionalism, and passion. Thank You

Apart from the fact that the focus of the next Council should be to bring back stability to the organisation, I like to share 8 ideas for the future of the association and our profession:

1. Our association has to become the true global voice and inspirator of our profession. Additional investments in Asia, Africa and LATAM will be needed #representation #globalvoice

Statement

Hello, my name is Dharmendra Jain. I live in Nairobi, Kenya, Africa. Presently, I am working with Kantar as a Regional Operations Director for West, East and Central Africa. I began my market research journey in 1998 at Indian Market Research Bureau (IMRB), Mumbai, India, as a Junior Analysis Executive, then continued to manage data processing to lead operations. I have enjoyed this journey with great learning and growth opportunities while working with some of the world's top research organisations across emerging markets like India, Nigeria and Kenya.

I have seen numerous challenges around data quality, cost, speed of the delivery and ensuring actionable insight. Today, our industry is witnessing a significant transformation in the form of technology-led solutions like AI, AR/VR, and DIY Insights platforms. And at the same time, there is a growing concern about data privacy, ethical use of data, and code of conduct.

We as an industry need to relook at how we collectively respond to this wave of change and ensure the sector remains at the forefront to sustain itself and serve its clients at best. ESOMAR, a global voice for Market Research Industry, has always inspired me by their sheer contribution towards shaping the industry. So, with great pleasure and excitement, I am forwarding my candidacy for the council member.

If I get an opportunity to serve this incredible industry, I will bring my twenty years of experience in emerging markets and knowledge about cutting-edge technologies to reshape the industry. Also, to address the challenges in the emerging markets and how ESOMAR can facilitate the necessary support. I hope to get your support to serve and transform the industry. Thank you very much Dharmendra
