Robert Welch – President
At first glance the space shuttle and demographic data have little in common. But a closer examination will show the common denominator is sophisticated mathematical models that process vast amounts of raw data into actionable insight. Robert created the models for several sophisticated projects, including a defense system for TRW, a location model for one of the first cellular companies, and a risk-assessment model for Lockheed’s space shuttle. In 1992, Robert transferred his unique ability to create mathematical models into the creation of powerful tools for consumer-focused businesses. In the late 1990s he applied his innovative mathematical modeling skills to the problem of estimating populations in markets across the U.S. In 2001, he launched STI: PopStats™, today’s leading demographic population data, which forever changed the way progressive businesses measure populations within their trade areas. As the President and lead developer at STI, Robert continues to develop breakthrough data products, such as the STI: LandScape™ and STI: BlockPoint™ products. Robert has a BBA in marketing research from the University of Texas at El Paso and an MBA in finance from the University of Texas at Austin.
Lesley Newman – Executive Vice President
All of Lesley’s prior work experience came together in a powerful way in 2006 when she joined STI. In particular, Lesley brings three areas of expertise to her position at STI — sales of enterprise systems to retailers, sales of accounting software, and customer training. She gained a thorough understanding of the information needs of retail operations while selling enterprise-level systems to restaurants and grocery stores. She has also sold accounting systems, which afforded her a solid background in the significance of processing numbers, a critical skill in data analysis. Lesley has also held positions as a trainer of technology systems: through this experience she developed the ability to explain complex technical topics to clients in simple ways. Today all of Lesley’s past experience provides an ideal foundation for helping a wide range of STI’s clients determine which demographic data products will best meet their market research needs. She also actively contributes insight into the company’s new product development, its sales strategy, and its marketing program. Lesley has a degree in communication from the University of Virginia.
