Founded by VMI President Jean Vincent and CFO John Vincent in late 2000, Vincent McCabe is built on a strong foundation of knowledge and experience in research, consulting and business management. Reviewing her long career in marketing consulting and corporate management, Jean realized that wherever she worked, she always built a research infrastructure to support clients and colleagues. She saw a need to help people find answers to their questions to ensure strong strategic marketing programs and products. Joined by John Vincent with his degrees in business administration and information systems, the entrepreneurial spirit that marked the development of several in-house research departments was used to launch Vincent McCabe, Inc. The company has enjoyed profitable growth since its inception.
