Hakan Ermin

Founder & Managing Director

27 years of international market research experience

I founded Rast Research in 2015 after more than sixteen years in leadership positions at Nielsen, GfK and Ipsos.

Throughout my career, I have managed multi-country research projects across more than 50 countries, working with global brands and international research agencies.

Today, I remain personally involved in every project—from proposal development and research design to local partner selection, fieldwork supervision, quality assurance, reporting and client presentations.

I believe that reliable insights are built through disciplined execution, close project management and a genuine commitment to research quality.

Founded in 2015, Rast Research is an independent market research company built on more than 27 years of international research experience.
Over the years, we have managed consumer, retail and B2B research projects across more than 50 countries, working with both global brands and international research agencies.
Our expertise is not limited to conducting research.
We manage complex research projects from partner selection to final delivery, ensuring that every stage of the research process is executed with consistency, transparency and close quality control.
Rather than maintaining large fieldwork operations, we collaborate with carefully selected local research agencies, supervise execution, validate data and coordinate every step of the project to deliver research our clients can confidently rely on.
We believe that reliable insights are built long before the final report.
That is why we stay closely involved throughout the entire research process—from the first briefing to the final presentation.
