Commitment to Client-Centric Research

"Our vision is to build a next-generation insights firm that empowers our clients to navigate change effectively," stated CEO Rob Wengel. This expansion aims to align closely with client priorities, emphasizing the importance of outcomes-based research.

The leadership expansion introduces several new leaders to key roles:

Her focus will be to amplify Radius's market visibility and enrich client relations, propelling the company into the next growth phase.

• - Jay Shutter, formerly the principal and CEO of Illuminas North America, steps into the role of Chief Technology Officer. In this capacity, he will spearhead Radius's technology strategy, focusing on research operations, platform development, and business process enhancement while maintaining his position as a thought leader in the sector.

• - Paul Donagher has been appointed Head of Client Growth. Donagher will leverage his extensive background in insights and consulting to foster integrated service delivery and commercial growth. His objective lies in unlocking new opportunities across various sectors through scalable, insight-driven programs that add value to clients.

• - Carrie Angiolet, co-founder of Illuminas, takes on the role of Head of Illuminas, U.S., where she will oversee daily operations and will continue to broaden its impactful work with leading clients. Her deep understanding of the technology landscape and insight activation makes her a significant asset.

Addressing Industry Challenges

Wengel emphasized the pressing issues faced by clients today, citing increasing complexity, shorter decision-making timelines, and the demand for actionable insights.
