Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Lucid is a software company delivering the power of human answers on a massive scale. We built Fulcrum, the first global marketplace for market research sample (that means human beings who answer questions), and introduced programmatic buying and selling to the market research industry. We also created Federated Sample, a full-service sample provider that, using our proprietary technology, empowers our clients to do world-class market research. Our marketing technology suite, Proof, is delivering a whole new way for advertisers to understand their audience.Over ten billion questions have been asked and answered on our global platform. Human data on this scale gives us an amazing opportunity to solve problems with software.

I founded Rep Data with a core mission: to be a reliable, repeatable data collection partner for the market research industry. I am a 15-year veteran of the online sample space. As an early employee at e-Rewards/Research Now (now Dynata), I was a top performer on a team that increased the company's revenue from $30m to $300m during my nine-year tenure. After moving home to New Orleans to join Federated Sample (now Lucid), I led sales teams that transformed the company from startup to disruptor, growing revenue a combined 6x in six years. My proven track record of leading high-performing sales teams has garnered a reputation of consistency, trust, and reliability from my peers and loyal customers. Since joining the sample industry in 2006, I have witnessed dozens of panel mergers and acquisitions and frequent reorgs. This creates inconsistent survey execution that continues to impact customer experience, industry wide. I decided to found Rep Data to put long-term client needs first and foremost
