I value curiosity above any other characteristic. For example, while I wrote this, sat in a car outside a church hall, waiting to pick up my son from drama club, I saw a man holding a large circuit board. He walked into the carpark, looked round in confusion, and left again. Why? I will never know. My favourite hobby is seeing things like that.

Making sure my loved ones and I are happy, healthy, and well taken care of is one of my top priorities in life. I love expressing my creativity through cooking and baking, but when I’m not in the kitchen you can find me roller skating with my friends, reading a good novel, tending to my many houseplants, or hiking in one of our local Bay Area Redwood parks with my dog.

I’m a great believer that openness and vulnerability are key to forming positive, productive relationships; something I’m striving to improve at. When I’m not chasing a pre-schooler around, you’ll find me delving into my increasingly uncool record collection, hunting down London’s best fried chicken or questioning why I ever decided to support Crystal Palace.

With a focus on statistical analysis, market research and UX research, Charmain is passionate about helping clients solve business issues with specialisms in multi-market and mixed-methods projects.

What’s important to me is making sure I (and my loved ones) stay healthy and balanced. I love to stay active through running, biking, hiking, swimming, and yoga, as well as connecting with my creativity and the earth through travel, gardening, bee keeping, photography and more.

Senior Principal

An experienced mixed-method Consultant. She’s adept in qualitative and quantitative research and relishes finding the nuggets of insight that steer our clients to profitable growth.

My family and friends are my priority, so spending quality time together outside of work is essential to me. I also love cooking, hiking and going on camping trips in our new van.

Principal

Calm and controlled with a creative outlook, Becky is a quantitative consultant experienced in data management and analysis. Previously, she worked as Senior Executive at Simpson Carpenter.

I spend most of my free time chasing after my two young (energetic!) children, but when I’m not in ‘mum mode’ I enjoy swimming, jogging, expensive cocktails and a good natter with friends.

Previously leading Market Research Teams at Heathrow, QinetiQ EMEA, and Sony UK, Peter is a research and business analysis professional who enjoys interrogating data to identify opportunities for clients to grow.

Doing right by others and spending quality time with friends and family are things I find important. Outside of work, I enjoy watching movies, live music, going to the theatre and am an avid football and tennis fan.

Balance is important to me, just the right amount of family, friends, alone-time, work, exercise, idling, seriousness and silliness. You might be surprised by the amount of time I spend thinking about skateboarding.

Seeing my kids happy and thriving is imperative to me, so I spend most of my free time ferrying them around to various activities. I enjoy good times with friends and am partial to an Aperol Spritz, followed by good food and wine.

Happiest with a book in hand (and perhaps a glass of wine), whilst sat in the sun, with a cat on my lap. Can also be found wandering amongst local woods and fields getting my ‘green fix’.

I believe in lifelong learning and am always eager to absorb new information and skills. I love running, going to the theater, watercolor painting, and cooking or baking.

Family is everything to me. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, physical fitness, and audiobooks/podcasts about history.

Keeping a positive outlook and being optimistic is important to me. I’m the annoying friend who looks for the best in situations rather than letting you just rant about a problem. My favourite definition of an Optimist is someone who figures taking a step backwards after taking one forwards isn’t a disaster – it’s more like a cha-cha! That definitely sums it up for me!

I’m passionate about travelling and exploring new places. Learning new cultures and histories is something that I really enjoy and make me happy.  When I’m not at work, I like to socialize and connect with my family and friends.

I relish time with my friends and grown kids, love making pots of soup, big salads and cocktails, adore the Oregon Ducks, and crave my time outdoors. This includes cycling, hiking, running, rafting, and exploring whatever’s around the next corner!

Number one for me is family, although my boys are now pretty independent and it’s a bit of a wrench to find myself with a newly empty nest! The freedom and flexibility to ride my bike and travel more does make up for it a bit.

I enjoy travelling to new places and am at my happiest when high in the mountains or with sand between my toes. My simple pleasures in life include country walks, Greek food, a strong cosmopolitan and laughing until it hurts.

Spending time with my family is paramount to me. I love to stay active and regularly go running so I can keep up with my growing children!
