Nancy Gottlieb, Director of Operations
For over 20 years, Nancy Gottlieb has been responsible for overseeing each and every component of survey research. She was one of the first employees at Decima Research when it began in 1979, and her in-depth knowledge of all aspects of survey research has made her a greatly valued colleague at The Strategic Counsel. She is involved in both the front and back ends of the survey process, including the review, preparation and programming of questionnaires on CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing), as well as preparing and running the results.

Her organizational skills, coupled with her experience, led one manager at The Strategic Counsel to describe her as the company's "Rock of Gibraltar": her work is solid, professional and of the highest quality, ensuring the total integrity of every operation from start to finish.

Other than co-ordinating research, Nancy gets her greatest pleasure from her family cottage at Georgian Bay, where she has spent summer weekends for over 30 years. But despite her affection for the place, she insists the company rumors that she call-forwards her work to the cottage are completely unfounded.
