Co-founder
Fred Hogen spent many years at NielsenIQ, helping consumer goods manufacturers and retailers use their market data for decisions.
LinkedInThe founders have worked with manufacturers and retailers on market and shopper data for many years, among others at NielsenIQ and Bormann & Gordon. Synthexa grew out of that work: software that analyses studies, panels and surveys and backs every statement with its source.
Every year, manufacturers and retailers invest in studies, panels and surveys. The results sit in presentations, spreadsheets and the heads of experienced colleagues. Anyone who needs to answer a specific question searches folders, asks around or commissions a new analysis.
The founders know this situation from many years on the provider side, at NielsenIQ and Bormann & Gordon. Synthexa therefore brings existing market knowledge together in one place and delivers the results in the formats your team works with.
Consumer goods, OTC and retail: the founders know the questions of category management and shopper insights from their work with clients.
