She has professional qualifications in industrial organisational psychology, counselling, applied organisational research and group facilitation.
“Ipsos Business Consulting has been active in the Australian market since the acquisition of Perth-based Market Equity in 2005,” Ipsos Business Consulting CEO Peter Snell said.
“We are now relaunching our Business Consulting practice in Sydney under new leadership and will be building our consulting team to service the major markets. We are fortunate to have secured Shaan, a very experienced professional, who was previously with Ipsos in the US, to lead our team.
“The Australian economy is changing and many companies will need the specialist business-to-business services Ipsos Business Consulting provides to help them build, compete and grow their operations, both domestically and overseas and particularly in Asia, where there are many untapped opportunities.”
Commenting on her new role, Tainton said, “I’m very excited to be joining the Business Consulting offering in Australia and helping to grow the team here.
“Australian companies are in a unique and valuable position for growth in this market but also in Asia where the opportunities are vast. I look forward to working with our Australian clients and growing the Australian footprint.”
