MROffice About

Grace Gu was born in Shanghai, China, and moved to New Zealand in 2001. She has worked for Global Market Research companies such as TNS and Milward Brown for 7 years. She has extensive experience with questionnaire scripting, data processing, panel management and has worked with various market research software platforms.

Grace thinks the cool thing about MROffice is the way we integrate programming and market research. We do not chuck our data into a dark software tunnel without knowing what happens along the way before it reaches the end. We build a bridge instead.

She is also very good with project and time management by the way.

Kees Varekamp was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and moved to New Zealand in November 2007. He has around 11 years of experience in the Market Research industry, being based in Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Auckland, and has been working in a variety of roles; as an analyst, a scripter, a trainer, and as a technical sales consultant. He has visited many MR companies in Europe, the USA, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Kees gets upset by seeing people doing boring repetitive tasks (and making errors in the process!) while there is a perfectly fine or even better automated alternative.

Terence Li was born in Beijing, China, moved to New Zealand in year 2003. He got his bachelor's degree major in computer science and his master's degree major in statistics from University of Auckland. So "A programmer who knows some advance statistics" describes Terence very well. Terence is mainly doing DP/scripting for MROffice now, and looking forward to bring some statistical analysis into MROffice' services in the future.

He is always keen to learn new stuff and always curious about "how does it work and why do we do it this way" until he found himself a reasonable answer.

Big fan of football as you might have noticed.

MROffice works with a small dedicated team of freelance programmers, coders, scripters and translators based in various places in the world. It's a flexible setup that allows us to stay scalable and cost effective
