Abacus Data Continues to Grow


Abacus Data welcomes Yvonne Langen as the new Business Development Manager. Yvonne comes to us with a breadth of experience in account management, lead generation, relationship management, marketing, and communications. She holds a Bachelor of Journalism from Carleton University and a Master of Arts from the University of Toronto.

Yvonne will be responsible for cultivating relationships with prospective clients and stewarding existing clients.

“Over the past eight years, Abacus Data has grown from a small, two-person shop into one of Canada’s most innovative market research firms,” said David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data. “With Yvonne as part of the team, we will now be able to grow even more by leveraging the interest that our work generates.”

The addition of Ms. Langen follows the promotion of Ihor Korbabicz to the role of Executive Director. Ihor will lead the day-to-day organization and coordination of research efforts at Abacus Data.

Maciej Czop has also been promoted to the role of Senior Consultant. Over the past two years, Maciej has taken on increasing responsibility in managing accounts and driving new business to our firm.

“Public affairs research has changed significantly over the past several years. Canadians are less interested in political horse-race polls and increasingly want to know what’s behind the numbers,” concluded Tim Powers, Managing Director of Abacus Data. “At Abacus, our focus is on providing real insight and on making practical recommendations that our clients can use.”
