Kantar Global Research Centre

Martin, originally from Slovakia, joined Kantar in 2016 and has since grown into the role of Director GRC (Creative). He now leads one of the core teams within GRC, focusing on Creative solutions – helping clients evaluate and improve their advertising performance through a mix of advanced analytics, AI tools, and global expertise.

He is responsible for shaping the overall strategy of his team, managing key client relationships, and ensuring strong collaboration across functions. His team supports markets globally, with particular focus on the UK, US, Germany, and France.

Martin is especially proud of how much the business has evolved – what used to take days now happens in hours, thanks to automation, AI, and smart workflows. But above all, he values the people he works with. He credits the team’s diversity, agility, and collaborative spirit as the driving force behind their continued success.

Aleksandra is our Talent Acquisition Partner, bringing her expertise to Kantar since 2022. Seeing people smile after landing their dream job or when managers find the perfect match? That's her daily joy! Aleksandra loves finding new talent, boosting our employer brand, and working on global projects. Collaborating with a team across different time zones, she turns every conversation into a problem-solving session, learning about different cultures along the way.

Ladislav started his career in Kantar in 1999, and has held quite a few different roles on both local and global levels before he applied to be the leader of the newly established GRC Team in 2012. A decision, as he says, which truly changed his life! During the last decade he has been very passionate about building the GRC Team’s size and reach. In his free time (or rather the little time his 8 and 10 year old sons allow him to have), he enjoys playing floorball, reading (sci-fi especially), and cooking.

Julia joined the GRC in February 2021 as a Research Executive but is already rocking the analytical world as Research Manager and bringing insights on how to increase Brand value! She is also one of the most active participants in all volunteering activities, trying to make others’ lives better. Apart from volunteering, in her free time she practices yoga, does cross fit (what a combination of a strong body and clear mind!), reads books, cooks (if you are a sweet tooth – just ask her to make a carrot cake, you will not regret it), listens to music and even plays the flute.
