Bio
Marni Hirschorn
It was an absolute pleasure and honor to have worked so closely with Mary for the 4 ½ years she reported into me at Ipsos. She is a quick learner, great teammate and mentor, strategic thinker, and clear presenter. Whatever the challenge was, Mary delivered with grace and ease. Mary was always a great resource sought out by clients and colleagues. She always listened to our client's research needs and was able to present strategic insights that helped them make smart business decisions from the data. In terms of managing reports, Mary always took the time to help train the team regardless of her workload. She was great at time management, prioritization, and training her direct reports. I miss having Mary on my team and know she will be successful wherever she goes.

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have reported to Mary for nearly two years. I can’t imagine a better researcher to learn from and am so grateful to have had the experience of working with her. Mary excels at all aspects of research, from study design to execution, all the way through to creating insightful and actionable reporting. Mary does an impeccable job of keeping the client’s goals in her purview throughout the lifecycle of a project and is the definition of a client partner. Mary teachers her direct reports and coworkers what it means to be a diligent researcher, and everyone that has had the pleasure of working with her is better at their job because of her. She is creative, analytical, and resourceful, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
