Utrecht, 5 May 2026 - DVJ Insights welcomes Jantine Cornel and Stefanie Pooyé as consultants in the Netherlands, further strengthening its local consultancy team and supporting continued growth in the region.

Jantine brings over 10 years of experience in marketing research. She started her career at MetrixLab (now Toluna) as a researcher and, after around seven years, moved into a commercial role as Client Director. Throughout her career, she has developed a strong affinity for agency life and a deep passion for research.

She specialises in brand and communication research, with extensive experience designing and managing large-scale brand and campaign tracking programmes. Jantine has worked with a wide range of clients across industries, helping them better understand and strengthen their brands.

“After 11 years at the same agency, I felt it was the right time for a new challenge. DVJ stood out to me for its strong focus on learning and validation, as well as its commitment to sharing valuable industry knowledge. I’m particularly drawn to the emphasis on translating insights into real impact for clients, and I’m excited to be part of the team,” says Jantine

Stefanie brings over 10 years of experience in market research, both on the agency and client side. She previously worked at MetrixLab as a researcher and consultant, as well as at Markteffect and Versuni (Philips Domestic Appliances), where she was part of the Global Consumer & Market Insights team. She also spent time teaching bachelor students, an experience that further strengthened her passion for the agency environment.

She combines a strong research background with client-side experience, enabling her to translate insights into relevant and actionable recommendations. Her work is centred on understanding business challenges and supporting brands in making better-informed decisions.

Stefanie: “I’ve always been passionate about combining consumer insights with innovation to drive growth for brands. With experience on both the agency and client side, I realised how much I enjoy the pace and diversity of agency work. DVJ immediately stood out to me because of its strong reputation, as well as its focus on quality, learning, and truly understanding behaviour.
