Rick Davis

Rick Davis is the Chairman & CEO of the BrandLoyalties, Inc.

Mr. Davis’ interest in the development of technologies that empower investors started over 30 years ago. One consistent strategy utilized by Mr. Davis during his entire career has been to push the data collection process as far up-stream as possible, developing technologies that capture critical data as close to the original source as conceivable. This has been made even more possible by the rapid evolution of vast amounts of “Big Data” generated – consciously or unconsciously – by billions of people every day as they simply go about their plugged-in life during the 21st century.

In 2009 Mr. Davis started the Consumer Metrics Institute, Inc. to acquire and channel industry-specific econometric information to institutional investors in a timely manner.

In 2012 Mr. Davis expanded this vision by launching ticker-specific BrandLoyalties – a unique source of quantitative research that uses “Big Data” derived consumer behavior to generate forward looking daily signals based on shifting consumer loyalty.

Mr. Davis graduated from college with a B.S. Cum Laude in Physics. Before founding the Consumer Metrics Institute, he held a number of positions, including founding principal of a NASD broker/dealer and registered investment advisor.

Mr. Davis is currently based in Colorado.
