Sr Director, Research

Established in 1994, NeuGroup is the premier membership organization for Finance professionals at the world's most iconic multinational corporations.

Our research practice is expanding and includes standalone benchmarking surveys, surveys designed to support specific peer group meetings and in-session quick polls.
