WATERTOWN MA February 17, 2021—Apollo Intelligence (Apollo) has appointed veteran European market research executive Colin Turner-Kerr as managing director, international. Colin will support the growth of Apollo in Europe, initially taking responsibility for the localization of Apollo’s InCrowd brand. InCrowd is known as a pioneer for delivering high-quality real-time insights to the life sciences and healthcare industries and, as part of Apollo, now boasts one of largest global communities of healthcare professionals.

Turner-Kerr was also instrumental in the growth of Global Market Insite (GMI) in Europe before its acquisition by Lightspeed/Kantar. Most recently in a consulting capacity, he provided counsel and interim management services to various market research and research technology players. He began his career in market research at Mintel International Group, a global full-service research agency.
