She has a brilliant CV and her knowledge of behavioural science and strengths in corporate strategy will go a long way in helping us provide greater value for our clients. Of equal importance for me though was her motivation for this role and her excitement about putting her stamp on the development of industry leading products in the field of Behavioural Science”.
Dr Alexandra Dobra-Kiel, Head of Behavioural Research and Insight at Behave said: “I’m extremely happy to be joining such an exciting team at Behave where I look forward to applying my expertise covering propositional and product development.
