The Co-Founders Focused On Your Success
John Christensen
Ph.D. Co-Founder
I initially fell in love with research in a chemistry lab. As the first in my family to go to college, I started studying human behavior while earning my undergraduate degree. I’ve since obtained my Ph.D. in social psychology.
I am currently an associate professor of communications for a higher education institution, and I am empowered by watching others advance, grow, and achieve success.
How can I help you accomplish your to-do lists with data analytics?

Jean White
M.S.O.P. Chief Operating Officer
As a career human resource professional, I have always been passionate about workplace culture and the impact that it has on the organization’s results. I have learned that people must be the center of an organization’s focus – both the people that work there, and the people that they serve. When this is done well, positive innovation and high engagement are inevitable.
I have served in a variety of business sectors including higher education, financial services, and health care, where I focus on helping senior executives lead effectively while strengthening the organization’s people systems and programs. I earned an M.S. in Organizational Psychology, which enables me to understand and drive workplace culture. A key enabler for this work is data – it tells us how we are doing, and where we need to course-correct. I believe that, with the right tools and commitment, any leader can improve their organization’s performance through its people.
