Terence McCarron, Managing Director | North America

Terence McCarron serves as the Managing Director for Cint’s North America business unit. During his career in multi-sector quantitative market research services, Terence has helped grow several leading global organizations while developing expertise across multiple methodologies.

Cint’s core values of transparency, quality and client choice resonate deeply with him as does its commitment to growing a company “the right way”, as a long-term partner in the market research industry. He recognizes how Cint’s approach can solve many of the problems facing online market research today and is passionate about sharing this vision throughout North America.

Outside of work, Terence enjoys spending time with his wife and three daughters, as he attempts, in vain, to teach the “character-building” virtue of being a New York Mets baseball fan.
