Our Leadership Team
Shaun Black
Founder & Chief Analyst
Shaun founded PIVOTL based on his unwavering belief in the transformative power of a well-designed analytics system, and its ability to help companies improve across all areas of operation. He experienced this first-hand working with hundreds of businesses over 17 years as an executive at a global manufacturing analytics software company. The in-house analytics he built to manage worldwide sales, marketing, and business development were the catalyst for what later became PIVOTL.
Shaun graduated Summa Cum Laude from Colorado State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and a Specialization in Data Management and Analytics. He received the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®) designation from The American College in Bryn Mawr, PA, and is an active member of the Board of Directors for Casa Teresa, a 43-year-old not-for-profit organization that has assisted over 6800 pregnant women in crisis in Orange County, CA.

What Drives Clients to Hire Us
No matter a company’s size or industry, the ultimate goal is always the same: GROWING PROFIT!
Profit allows us to hire new employees, invest in R&D, save for unexpected events, and pay it forward in our community. Profitability is critical to the sustainability of every enterprise, and when you strip away all the MBA business-babble, profit is ultimately achieved in four fundamental ways:
- increasing revenue,
- reducing expenses,
- minimizing risk, and
- saving time.
Experienced leaders recognize that in order to achieve these objectives they must effectively manage each and every functional area of their organization. Sales, marketing, finance, operations, production, customer service, HR, etc. all need to be highly productive and coordinated in order to maximize profitability.
PIVOTL clients know that they cannot manage what they cannot measure, and they embrace the need for an analytics solution that will increase their overall business intelligence.
Our Ideal Clients:
Realize that they already have much of the data they need in order to make smart decisions but don’t have a good way to collect, analyze and share it with key decision-makers.
Have a data-driven mentality and are prepared to implement the system-level changes and business process recommendations needed to fill in any data gaps discovered during the needs-analysis phase of our engagement.
Are large enough to invest in a robust analytics solution, but not so big that they’d be better served by a full-time, in-house team.

The Principles That Guide Us
A Win-Win Mentality
All too often we’ve seen vendor-client relationships with huge potential fall apart because one side chose to leverage their advantage over the other. At PIVOTL we will only take on engagements that are mutually beneficial and perceived as a fair exchange of value for both parties.
Clarity of Purpose
Most conflicts arise due to a lack of communication. At PIVOTL we will work hard to fully understand your expectations early-on so that we can craft a statement of work and project plan that specifically addresses your unique requirements.
Accountability
A successful partnership demands that everyone hold themselves accountable for their part in the plan. At PIVOTL we take extreme ownership of our responsibilities and ask the same of our clients.
