Brett Watkins

Brett started his market research career in 1994: 10 years he later acquired L&E. Through acquisition and building proprietary technology that runs L&E, we now boast North American recruitment coverage with a panel of nearly 1.5 million consumers, patients, and healthcare professionals for most every type of qual and quant research. Every year, L&E has grown and is now nearly 20x its original size, a testament clients validate with their 99% approval of L&E’s services. Brett enjoys people: growing L&E reflects his joy of working with others and seeing people grow and succeed. Even his favorite activities: golf, wine dinners, music concerts, travel, all enjoy the company of others. One day he wants to get back to playing drums, even finding a rock band where he can be the rhythm that drives the success!

Belinda Watkins

My hometown is Painesville, OH but I’ve been a North Carolinian (that’s known as a Tarheel in these parts) for over 20 years and call it my home. I’m a software engineer, I love solving problems and helping others make their lives easier…so I get a lot of satisfaction from spending my time making L&E’s technology better. And trust me…when people find out what software can do for them…they never run out of ideas!

When I am not working, I am spending time with my family and friends. I especially love hanging out at the lake or the beach… anywhere there’s water and sun.
