our story
From the very beginning, our passion has been creating and deploying industry-leading research technology and “wow-ing” every client in the process.
The Mercury
Origin Story
Our story starts with our founder and CEO Ron Howard, entrepreneur, experienced technology industry leader, and passionate advocate for the development of innovative software and hardware technology. Ron has a history of hands-on corporate leadership at tech companies, as employee #1 at several startups, to CEO managing multi-hundred million dollar public and private corporate transactions.
Based on his corporate experience, Ron saw enormous problems in the way research was conducted — and significant opportunity. While the internet had transformed most industries, the research industry still used the same old testing methods, weak testing techniques, with long lead times and high costs. He knew that combining the internet with brilliant software development would provide better, faster, lower-cost research.
Ron created Mercury Analytics to change the research landscape and address this opportunity.
Ron is a seasoned business professional who quickly grasps challenges and opportunities and helps define strategies for success.
