Victoria McWade

Research Director

Oxfordshire

Victoria has over 20 years’ experience in the industry spanning both agency and industry-side. She has worked on a wide range projects and therapy areas, but her career in the industry began in large, complex, multi-country disease and tracking studies- so she quickly learned the need to distil large amounts of information into sharp, key insights. Over the subsequent years, Victoria gained her more rounded experience across a wide array of qualitative studies. Victoria’s particular focus is in maximising the value offered to her clients. Having been a client herself in both, UK and Global roles, Victoria is all too aware of the need to push the research as far as possible, optimise engagement with internal stakeholders and provide truly actionable solutions for the business. Outside of work, Victoria enjoys travelling, good food and testing out her green fingers in her garden. READ BIOGRAPHY
