People

Patrick Comer
Chief Executive Officer

Patrick Comer is a transformative leader in Research Technology (Restech), a term officially coined under his leadership. With over two decades of experience, Patrick has driven the evolution of the industry from its early stages to its current digital prominence.

Patrick's journey began in 2003 at iFilm, where, as Director of Surveys, he established key partnerships with loyalty programs such as eRewards and Mypoints. In 2004, he co-founded SampleCzar, a pioneering market maker in the sampling space with a proprietary supply management system.

He later joined OTX, a global research and consulting firm, to oversee its third-party supply chain. Under his leadership, the creation of RSX, OTX's market-making division, significantly boosted the company's revenue and EBITDA, leading to its acquisition by Ipsos for $71 million in 2010.

Patrick's vision for Restech fully materialized with the founding of Lucid in 2010. At Lucid, he introduced programmatic concepts from Adtech and pioneered the industry's first buy-side and supply-side APIs. Lucid's innovative products, including its reverse auction marketplace and quality-first scoring system, set new industry standards. In 2021, Lucid was acquired by Cint AB for $1.1 billion, whereupon Patrick became the chairman.

In 2013, Patrick founded SampleCon, a dedicated forum for the sample industry that has grown to attract key players worldwide. At SampleCon in 2019, a vote officially named the evolving industry "Restech," a term now synonymous with innovation in market research. He is also the co-creator of the Restech Landscape at restecher.com.

In September 2024, Patrick took on a new challenge by joining his current company as CEO. Patrick holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a Bachelor's degree from Sewanee: The University of the South. As a visionary, Patrick continues to lead and shape the future of Restech, ensuring its growth and relevance in the digital age.
