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 programmes 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 US$71m in 2010.
