I had my own stakeholder research and consulting company before joining GfK (then NOP World) in 2004, and leaving them to join Harris Interactive in 2006. Until March 5th, I was SVP and Senior Consultant in their Stakeholder Relationship Consulting (formerly Customer Loyalty) group. Like 20 other Harris employees, I was in the latest group of cutbacks.

While I'm tempted to go out on my own (see my LinkedIn profile) as a researcher/consultant, I'm looking at opportunities more on the strategic boutique consulting, and possibly corporate, sides. Why? Because I actually think I'd be able to make more of a contribution in those capacities than by jumping back into another MR situation.
