Today, it was announced that Sage Beacon, a human-centric execution analytics and stakeholder insights platform provider, has officially launched.

Recognizing the profound impacts of people-focused analytics on breaking down obstacles in hiring and retention, Sage Talent co-founder Paul Grewal set out to help companies kickstart organizational change, accelerate execution, and reorient the organization for growth.

Sage Beacon's AI-powered SaaS platform extends people-focused analytics across organizations, streamlining execution by enabling stakeholders to work together to remove roadblocks, despite remote work disruption. 

Sarah Gaeta, senior product visionary and former TiVo Corporation senior executive, joins the company as CEO. The executive team will initially focus on recruiting pilot program participants, platform enhancements, go-to-market strategy, and fundraising. 

"Many organizations are struggling to realize their strategic ambitions because the execution gets bogged down in unconscious biases, unforeseen obstacles, and bottlenecks," said Grewal. "With Sage Beacon's AI-powered analytics tools and consultants, organizational leaders and stakeholders can focus on their most important asset - their people - to minimize friction and speed up an otherwise onerous process."

While the strategic consulting industry is booming, their services are priced out of reach for all but the top-funded companies. At the same time, the market for people-related analytics products and services is estimated to grow to $6.2 B by 2027. Strategic consulting, intelligence, and people-focused analytics are expanding in critical areas like education, healthcare, and civic management.

The Sage Beacon SaaS platform is a combination of AI-powered data gathering, analytics, and visualization tools that gather and analyze existing and newly generated data in order to identify change roadblocks and enable teams to work towards solutions.

"I'm excited to build a company and solution that streamlines business transformation, a notoriously difficult process that's been exasperated by global disruption and a massive shift to remote working," said Sarah Gaeta, CEO of Sage Beacon. "We help leaders focus on stakeholder's needs in order to identify synergy opportunities where people can work together to clear obstacles, without compromising productivity or privacy."

Prior to joining the team, Gaeta served multiple leadership roles at TiVo Corporation (acquired by Xperi in 2020), during which she applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to automate mundane operational tasks, freeing employees to enrich and expand product offerings.

In addition, Gaeta led the business group operating model and commercial lifecycle implementation and evolution, delivering near real-time visibility into resource allocation, spend vs. budget and new deal pipeline management. Previously, she also served in leadership positions at Nuance Corporation, Ricoh EWS, Motorola, Plastic Logic and Adobe. Gaeta received her B.A. from Stanford University and an Ed.M. from Harvard University.

Global marketing and operations executive Paige Vesuvio also joins the company as Vice President of Marketing, and Sage Talent veteran Jorge Suarez joins as Vice President of Customer Delivery.
