After years of providing research insights for some of the biggest and smartest organizations in the business world we discovered a passion for helping local public servants secure the insights they need to make the best decisions—and OnPointe Insights was born!
Meet the Team
David Gailey is the former Head of Research for Singularity Education Group where he led initiatives to learn how emerging technologies like AI and Virtual Reality could positively impact local and global communities.
He leveraged the latest in survey, digital, and neuroscience-based methods to find new insights.
At the survey tech giant, Qualtrics, David helped organizations like Amazon, Netflix, Uber, American Airlines, Bank of America, and the US Department of Health & Human Services build state-of-the-art research programs.
Along with holding an MBA from the A.C. Nielsen Center for Marketing Research at the University of Wisconsin, David built his research chops as a Corporate Researcher at SC Johnson and in quantitative and qualitative roles at the research agencies BrainJuicer (now System1) and TNS.
Ron Gailey established his research capabilities by directing research at two Fortune 500 banks. Then, for 8 fascinating years he led insights for Coca-Cola across Asia (China, Japan, Australia, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and more.)
His task: create the insights that senior leaders needed for strategic decisions, breakthrough marketing, and improved performance.
Wanting his own research company, Ron started Mobile Digital Insights, (MDI), in 2017. MDI quickly grew as Ron and his team devoted their time to help leaders at Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, KFC, 1-800 Contacts, Kellogg’s, Essilor, and others make smart decisions with well-designed research.
Along the way, Ron fell in love with research for cities and towns. He started OnPointe Insights, a company devoted to helping mayors, city managers, city councils, and other civic leaders with their challenges. It's his way of using his experience and skills to support the local community and to give back.
Ryan has been with OnPointe since 2022. A Jack-of-all-trades, he does web development, video editing, content writing, survey building, marketing strategy, and everything in between.
With extensive international experience living in Thailand, Myanmar, and Taiwan, he brings diversity of experience and interests to OnPointe.
At Brigham Young University Ryan studied linguistics and he speaks Thai, Laotian, Burmese, and Mandarin.
