We're a small team of polymathic researchers, who are fascinated by humans, technology, and where they connect. We use new technology, like AI and brainwave tracking, and trusted approaches, like ethnographic method, to gain deeper insights and efficiencies in qualitative research to supply brands with the knowledge they need to succeed. Qualitative Research focuses on the human elements of investigation and examination. Contrary to popular belief, qualitative research can also be quantified and visualized. The purpose of the work we do is to gain clarity into existing or potential audiences, in order to connect with them more effectively and authentically. This may look like relevant content leading to increased engagement, more emotionally charged advertising driving sales, a better user experience on a website, or a lower cost per lead due to targeted media buys.

Apogee Strategies LLC was a Chicago-based company with 20 employees that I founded in 2000. Apogee was a managed service platform and operations consultancy providing IT, finance and small-business operations support. Apogee was the parent company of Conference & Publication Services, LLC – a small conference planning and association management firm acquired in 2007.I formed Apogee with the vision of changing IT consulting from a reactionary time and materials based business to a proactive value-creating business. The IT paradigm of the 1990s was under post-bubble pressure, turning ‘IT Consulting’ into a commodity with weakening economics and uninspiring business value.Key Achievements:• Apogee was among the first of what would become the managed services industry – delivering IT services for a fixed cost in exchange for meeting established service expectations.• In 2004 Apogee, as an extremely early-adopter of virtualization technology, launched our first private cloud, before the term ‘cloud’ had even been born.• In 2007 Apogee expanded through acquisition, bringing a complementary service provider – Conference & Publication Services – under our umbrella and leveraging our technology to drive EBITDA – that firm thrives today, now 500% larger and with net margins above 20%.• In 2009 Apogee reinvented itself again, launching a more efficient Virtual Office service in response to the changing economics of ‘The Great Recession’ and driving a turnaround for our business amid an otherwise weak economy.• In 2010 acquired another small firm that was rolled into the Apogee brand and expanded the Virtual Office offering to include small business strategy, finance and operations support.• In 2011 formed a Joint Venture with Gravitas bringing our capabilities to the Gravitas brand and enabling Gravitas to operate with a fully staffed base of operations in Chicago.• In 2013 successfully negotiated and consummated transactions exiting myself and my two partners.
