I chair the compensation committee and am the independent board director at FocusVision, the leading marketing and consumer insights solutions provider.


About us

  FocusVision is a full-spectrum, research technology solutions provider.

In 1992 we were the first company to live-stream focus groups. This saved our clients a lot of time, and money.

As we grew, and learnt more, and as the world of research technology matured, we realized no single track research approach was satisfying clients’ requirements.

So, we acquired market-leading companies in surveys and reporting and digital qual, and refined our own video solution. These companies were: Decipher, Revelation, InterVu, 24Tru, Research Reporter and Kinesis.

We now operate globally as one company, under the FocusVision brand, with over 400 employees, and offices in the US, UK, Bulgaria, and Singapore.

FocusVision provides its research technology solutions to professional research agencies and directly to client enterprises. We are trusted by 18 of the top 20 of the Fortune 100, all 10 of the top 10 healthcare and 10/10 of the top CPG companies.

Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of employees and offices around the world. A lot has changed since the first Google search engine appeared. But some things haven’t changed: our dedication to our users and our belief in the possibilities of the Internet itself.
