The Values That Guide Us
People
Garth Froese
CEO
Garth focuses on building bridges. He loves to span the differences and join the dots between opportunities, people, business structures and international tax regimes. This is the source for his compulsion to open up conversation and ask questions from anyone who has a pulse. He hikes, fishes and spends time at the gym.
Scott Rice
COO
Scott is the resident data nerd. Formerly Scott was a principal data scientist for one of the big 3 credit bureaus and in his youth was a computer programmer. Scott loves data and learning about how companies use it – if you get him started about it you will want to bring a chair (or better yet, a blanket and pillow). Scott writes and blogs and spends his spare time constantly remodeling his house.
Tom Liebe
CTO
As the head of our technology department, Tom is in charge of the team that builds and maintains our products and services. Tom is passionate about building products that will help make our customers successful and providing first rate support. In his spare time Tom enjoys reading, music and spending time with his family.
Dave Mori
CDO
With three children under the age of 12, Dave is a terrific listener. He leverages his 25 plus years of international leadership and business development experience to work with businesses and organizations to find solutions to their problems. Dave is a devoted family man, home chef and spends his free time camping, fishing and practicing judo with his kids.
Stacey Halligan
Director, Carrier Relations
If you get a chance to speak to Stacey on the phone you’ll know immediately she’s from Texas. But don’t let the down home “y’all” fool you; she’s a force to be reckoned with. Stacey is responsible for accessing all of our great telecommunications data resources. Stacey came to us from one of the biggest telecommunications companies in the world.
Karl Dean
Advisor, Healthcare Sector
Engrained appreciation for the consumer perspective on outreach methods from 17 years of healthcare operations responsibilities. Enjoys addressing the finer points of golf’s short game as well as sampling the results of our many craft brew masters.
Our History
In 1990, PacificEast Research Corporation launched as a batch appending business. But this company was ultimately destined to answer questions triggered by cloud computing in the mid-aughts. In 2006, Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s introduction of this breakthrough service raised many concerns about privacy. In response, PacificEast shifted its focus towards real-time identity verification.
The company weathered the 2008 economic downturn and changes in global identity and privacy regulations by relying on organic growth and strategic adaptation. Through shareholder restructuring, IT infrastructure upgrades, and a focus on customer-centric services, the company established itself as an expert in identity services and privacy compliance. It expanded its revenue streams with the introduction of Real-Time Identity Verification Services, the revamped Batch Appending suite, and the BrandDelivery SAAS service, which enhances outbound call engagement.
PacificEast maintains strict adherence to data ethics and privacy regulations, partnering with over 20 data providers and major telecom carriers. It serves a diverse range of sectors including healthcare, finance, government, and e-commerce. In 2021, the addition of BrandDelivery further improved client interactions by increasing call answer rates through enhanced caller branding.
