Dr Asma Qureshi

I am a research strategist who partners with businesses, technology organisations, and SaaS teams to turn research into clear strategic direction and measurable impact. I work hands-on across the full research lifecycle, spanning academic, consulting, industry, and policy research, with a strong focus on evidence-based decision-making.


My expertise brings together data-driven insights, UX and CX (Voice of Customer) research, strategic research planning, stakeholder engagement, and robust survey and measurement design. Using a mix of primary and secondary research methods, I help organisations move beyond surface-level insights to understand what truly drives customer behaviour, product adoption, and long-term value.
As a customer-centred, insights-led researcher, I focus on uncovering human behaviours, habits, motivations, and attitudes to help teams design products, services, and strategies grounded in real-world needs. I’m particularly drawn to emerging technologies and SaaS environments, where strong research can shape how people learn, work, and interact at scale.


Beyond UX and customer research, I bring deep experience in strategic research program design, vendor management, and cross-sector collaboration. I work closely with senior stakeholders and interdisciplinary teams to ensure research findings are translated into actionable strategy, product roadmaps, and policy-ready recommendations.


I actively contribute to the research and technology community through thought leadership, including writing on Medium and publishing a LinkedIn newsletter focused on research practice and emerging industry trends. I also partner with SaaS companies to evaluate user research platforms and capabilities, providing practical, real-world feedback that informs product innovation.
Forward-thinking and outcomes-focused, I bridge academic rigour, industry innovation, and strategic insight to help organisations build better products, make confident decisions, and deliver meaningful customer experiences.

Trust is the foundation of AI adoption. As autonomous technologies become more common, success will depend not only on technical capability but on whether people understand, trust and feel in control of the systems they use.

What it means, how to assess it, and why the market signal matters

Fifteen years working across UX, CX, product, and market research teaches you something that no methodology course covers: the biggest threat to an insight leader's relevance is not a new tool. It is staying excellent at the wrong things.
