AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, June 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ESOMAR, the global community for data, research, and insights, has appointed two additional members to its 2025–2028 Council, reinforcing its commitment to global representation and diversity of perspective.

“I am delighted to announce that Sandy and Mariela have been elected to fulfill our goal of being more inclusive and bringing specific expertise to Council,” said Anne-Sophie Damelincourt, ESOMAR Council President and Consultant at Insight & Strategy Consulting. “We are honored to welcome these highly talented, experienced, and connected women. Congratulations from the whole community!”
