Executive Summary
After a close partnership spanning 20+ years, Singlebrook is now the majority owner of Peerfocus, a provider of web-based software for sophisticated surveys, data collection, and powerful benchmarking. We’ve been supplying technical services to Peerfocus for many years, and we’re now taking care of Peerfocus’s administration, client relations, and strategy needs as well. This transaction deepens the relationship between the two companies and ensures that Peerfocus will continue to serve current and new customers for many years to come.
Evolving Leadership
Singlebrook co-founder and CEO Leon Miller-Out is now also President of Peerfocus. Leon has been involved with Peerfocus since its inception, and formerly served as CTO. Jessica Brown, Singlebrook’s Customer Experience Manager for Peerfocus, is now the primary point of contact for our customers. Jessica’s deep background in survey research and extensive experience with the Peerfocus platform makes her exceptionally well-suited for this critical role.
In addition to these changes, we’ve recently hired a new developer, Chris Evans, who came to us with professional experience writing survey software. We couldn’t be happier to have him on the development team, joining senior developers Shane Cavanaugh and Isaiah Fischer, who is now CTO of Peerfocus.
David Morgan, Peerfocus’s first president, retired in December. We’re deeply grateful to David for all of his hard work over the years, and especially for working closely with Singlebrook to ensure a successful transition.
Singlebrook Customers
We love our customers and we understand the importance of stability in business relationships. As Committed Consultants we will continue to provide custom software development and maintenance services to our current and future customers. This acquisition will help to make Singlebrook a more sustainable company and an even better choice to be your tech partner!
