Duncan McIntosh joins Perceptive as Research Director in Sydney

Published researcher Duncan McIntosh, has been appointed as Research Director at customer intelligence agency, Perceptive.

Originally from New Zealand, McIntosh worked as the Research Manager at Key Research in Tauranga before heading overseas to New South Wales, Australia.

Working alongside Rachael Weaver, Head of Research at Perceptive, McIntosh will manage qualitative and quantitative research projects whilst mentoring junior researchers in the team.

“Perceptive has always caught my eye with the world-class work they do for their clients. Over the years, I have assisted the team on a few research pieces, and I am looking forward to joining them permanently as they continue to grow and inspire their clients to push the boundaries of what’s possible with research,” says McIntosh.

Rachael Weaver, Head of Research at Perceptive, says the team are excited to have McIntosh join them.

“He has a huge amount of experience in both the public and private sectors, with an amazing skill-set to help us grow our team and client base.
