InCrowd Captures Market Momentum with Three New Hires

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2017) - As the market research industry enters a renaissance where first-mover technology players are achieving superior growth, InCrowd, pioneer of real-time market intelligence to the life sciences and healthcare industries, named three veteran life science market research executives to help accelerate its ability to capture the heightened demand.

InCrowd's appointment of Janet Bays, Kathy Relias, and Katie Ka caps a strong first quarter, in which the company debuted MicroQual, an automated qualitative research solution. MicroTracker, InCrowd's automated tracking solution launched in 2016, also helped fuel company growth in 2017. Demand for these solutions comes from market researchers who believe agile research is not for emergent needs, but rather a strategic approach to defending their brands. These progressive leaders recognize that their time is best spent drawing meaningful insights from timely data, instead of waiting weeks or months for data. InCrowd's new executives will help reach more of these decision makers in need of timely, trusted market insights.

"Our clients are fighting for their products everyday and seeking more efficient and effective ways to stay competitive. We're growing in alignment with this market transformation," said Janet Kosloff, CEO and co-founder of InCrowd. "We're proud to have attracted such top talent as Janet, Kathy and Katie to speed our ability to convert this market moment into accelerated growth."
