Aurélien Renard

I have 7 years of experience in international consulting organisations and 5 years of experience in Business Development and Marketing.

I joined Gallup and its Market, Social & Opinion Research Dpt., Region Europe, in 2006. As Director of Marketing & Business Development, my main functions cover business strategy and development, marketing and communications and the management of European-wide projects. In addition I am involved in some consulting projects and policy and behavioural economics analysis.

I studied in France, the US and UK and hold a Masters degree in Management from Audencia Nantes School of Management and a postgraduate degree in Contemporary European Studies from Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences-Po) and the University of Bath. I previously worked in the Marketing Consumer Intelligence department of Philips Consumer Electronics in Amsterdam and at the French Embassy in Brussels in the Office for Economics and Commercial Affairs. Before joining Gallup, I was a consultant for a Brussels-based Public Affairs consultancy where he was mainly involved in policy analysis and consulting, with a focus on ICT, research and innovation.

I speak French and English fluently, and have notions of German and Italian.
