Founder, Chief Scientific Officer

Harvard educated Sociologist

PhD candidate in Organizational Management

Specializes in organizational behavior

Savannah was motivated to start Sociometri by her love of two things: people and science. She has combined them in creating Sociometri to use social science to keep people safe. She has expertise in both qualitative and quantitative research gained during her studies for a bachelor’s degree at Purdue University, master’s degree at Harvard University, and ongoing PhD at Erasmus University.

Prior to Sociometri, Savannah spent nearly two decades as a Behavioral Research and Assessment Consultant creating data-gathering tools which help predict social phenomena and behavior within groups.  Her diagnostic instruments are used to identify university students at risk of academic failure before they realize they are struggling. 

Savannah used both her academic and industry experiences to build Sociometri. Through her characteristically painstaking and thorough research, she created a robust instrument capable of accurately and consistently measuring safety culture through the lens of the “Dirty Dozen” aviation human factors, paired with data-based and research-supported solutions to organizational safety hazards.

Born into an aviation-loving family, Brent has been an aviation enthusiast from day one. Sitting in the right seat of his dad’s airplane, his co-piloting experience began at age 5. He worked as a mechanic’s assistant at the local airport during college to pay for his flight lessons and became a pilot in 2006.

Brent has a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering Technology from Purdue University, where he also earned his Airframe and Powerplant mechanic’s license.  He has a Master of Science in Aviation and Aerospace Management from Purdue, and an MBA from the University of Massachusetts.

Brent has worked in the aviation industry for the past 15 years, primarily with engine manufacturers Rolls-Royce and GE in the USA, Europe, and Asia.  Brent was the first to use Sociometri to measure the safety culture of a team of 50+ pilots and technicians, incorporating the results into their Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Human Factors training, laying the foundation for systematic safety culture improvement.

Brent’s favorite airplane is the Breezy.
