Tahar Bouhafs

As the Chief Executive Officer of CSA Research, Tahar Bouhafs brings decades of experience in market research and strategic business consulting. Tahar’s expertise lies in global expansion strategies, business model innovation, and developing international market channels.

What I Cover

At CSA Research, I lead the organization's strategic vision, leveraging deep expertise in market research to deliver trustworthy industry-leading insights comparable to those in other sectors. My responsibilities include optimizing business models, fostering international partnerships, and spearheading global expansion across multiple continents. I also provide strategic guidance to language service providers (LSPs) on growth initiatives and manage our confidential mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practice.

My Background

After teaching at universities in the United States, I began my market research career in 1992, serving in key roles at prominent firms such as Forrester Research. There, I spearheaded the company’s global expansion, transforming it into a market leader with a substantial international footprint. My time at Management Ventures (MVI) Worldwide further honed my expertise in strategic consulting and business development. I also have a robust academic foundation in international business and technology, holding a master’s degree in computer science from Boston University and a master’s degree in management from the Hult International Business School. This is further enriched by studies at ESSEC in France and École Supérieure de Commerce in Algiers.

My Ethics

I uphold a code of ethics grounded in reliability, integrity, and a commitment to clients. My goal at CSA Research is to deliver impartial, thoroughly researched advice while fostering transparency and trust in every professional interaction.

Outside the Office

In my personal time, I am deeply interested in global cultures, political environments and continuous learning. But but my greatest joy remains poetry as a universal form of communication across languages and ciultures

I enjoy exploring the intersections of business and innovation and remain actively engaged in thought leadership within the market research industry.
