Burch LaPrade leads the company’s strategy as well as overseeing the organization’s operations. Gain Compliance leverages a semantic modeling approach to solve the hard problems of data meaning and consistency across the enterprise.

Previously Burch worked on a pure startup, a turnaround, and a late-stage enterprise; each of these endeavors resulted in a successful outcome for investors and owners. The common thread was a willingness to not just think strategically, but to execute with a very high level of focus, determination, and persistence.

Burch was awarded a BA, economics, from Yale University. And an MBA (information technology) from the University of California at Berkeley.
