Finder will take the position of CEO Maru Group Latin America. He was previously working as an independent consultant, and prior to that his roles have included positions at Ipsos and Synovate.

As Maru looks to expand, this follows the recent launch of Maru/Blue, its panel business with respondents across Canada and North America.

Ged Parton, CEO of Maru Group, said: “Expanding Maru’s offering to South America was a natural progression in the group’s growth trajectory and addresses the needs of many of our clients operating within the region, where there is currently limited provision of the end-to-end services that we offer.”
