Dr Theano Anasta and Svetlana Gogolina have joined market research firm Kantar Health as senior researchers in its UK team.
Dr Anasta (pictured right) joins from research company Holden Pearmain, where she was head of advanced methods and deputy managing director.
Other positions held prior to her time at Holden Pearmain include director of the marketing science centre at Research International UK.

She is now advanced methods consultant after serving as senior methodologist in her first spell.
Gogolina also spent seven months last year as partner in CLOUT.
“Theano and Svetlana bring extensive experience in designing complex studies and consulting with senior clients,” said Jim Needell, managing director of Kantar Health in the UK.
“They will help us deliver on our objectives of meeting our clients’ growing needs and addressing their central business questions around managing product launch programmes and how to promote and measure their performance.”
