Humans of Escalent

For fun, we help colleagues around the world get to know each other. Watch and see that you can be human at Escalent.

You will grow at Escalent. Our people say it best.

I joined Escalent as a Senior Analyst on the Financial Services team. My first few years were immersed in learning about the nuances of this industry through a wide variety of both qualitative and quantitative projects. My manager and managing director guided me to explore my current role through the ‘Sales and Success’ pillar lens. My transition from an analyst to a client manager is just one of the many examples of career possibilities at Escalent.

I joined Escalent as an intern in 2019 and have spent the last three years working with wonderful people across various industries. I have learned so much and gained significant knowledge about the market research industry.

I started my career at Escalent as an associate in 2021. Over the years, I have grown a lot professionally, thanks to working on many projects and learning alongside a great team.

After graduating from college, I joined Escalent as part of the Automotive team. It was a cool experience to be able to run projects on my own, manage a team of staff in various locations, and work outside at some fun events like the Super Bowl! Over the years, I gained more experience consulting with our clients and managing other Escalent team members. I am grateful to work with an intelligent, caring, fun bunch—we truly act like family, in the best way.

I joined Escalent as a system administrator and am now working as an IT consultant. Over the years, I have learned a lot in my domain and am thankful to the organization for providing so many opportunities to advance!

I’ve been fortunate to grow across my 15+ year career. I started on the "crash course of research,”—automotive product clinics. I transferred to auto teams and led our cross-functional, connected data program called DataDialogue to ingest, analyze/transform, and visualize fleet telematics data in a mobile app. Since then, I have been a Program Lead for our B2B audience, Fleet Advisory Hub. Focusing on this evolving landscape allows me to provide guidance to customers across vehicle manufacturers, fleet service providers, and technology and media companies.

At first, I was nervous about adjusting to a new work structure and industry. On my first day, my managing director said, "I have full confidence in your ability to do this job ... give yourself six months to fall in love with it before you make a decision." In the two and a half years I have been with Escalent, I have been able to progress from a Research Analyst to a Director of Research, and I could not have done it without the incredible backing of my team and the organization!

I'm grateful to be part of the Escalent team, where I can contribute my best work and grow at the same time. Awesome people all around me!

I started working with Escalent in 2016. Over the years, I have had ample opportunities to work on a variety of projects, research methodologies, and techniques across a range of industries. The company has enabled me to identify my strengths and build my confidence by trusting me to work independently.

My Escalent journey began right out of undergrad. Little did I know, I would turn colleagues into a work family and find my home. My role has transformed and progressed over the past 15 years, challenging me to grow in ways I didn’t think possible. I am forever grateful my team took a chance on me years ago and continues to push me to be a better researcher and team member every day!
