Galina's leaving us! There comes a time in every researcher's life when the idea of "going client-side" is entertained. So Galina's leaving to become the new  'Manager of Market Research & Customer Insights' at the BNZ's Strategy & Operations division. Good luck and thanks for your great contribution to Synovate Galina - you will be missed.
