Maria Trikalioti

Insight Manager at Human8

London, England, United Kingdom

About

I am a mixed-methods researcher and a strategic marketing consultant at Human8 (previously InSites Consulting). I hold a BSc in Marketing and Business Communication from Athens University of Economics and Business, and I graduated with honours from University College London with an MSc in Social Research Methods. I have worked on diverse projects ranging from concept testing to ethnographic diaries. My focus is on the foodservice and FMCG spaces, where I work with brands to help them better understand people and culture, empowering them to take action, and enhancing the lives of the people they serve. Outside work, I enjoy expressing myself through fashion and exploring other cultures through travelling.
