Staff Spotlight
Nicholas Schaefer
I joined Foresight as an Analyst after graduating from the University of Minnesota with a career interest in statistics, and have found it to be great fit.
I get to work with numbers and find creative solutions to business questions. Foresight’s project-based approach means workdays are challenging and never boring. I also appreciate how Foresight invests in the team, so I can build my skills, advance, and travel (one of my favorite memories was running a brand workshop in Thailand).
I work with a great group of coworkers in a relaxed environment (except when we get a foosball game going). Most importantly I get to bring my dog, a Lhasa Apso named Porter, into work with me every day.
Outside of work, I am a big sports fan (basketball, football, and soccer are my favorites), which kicked off my interest in statistics. I also enjoy playing video games, visiting breweries, and, of course, hanging out with Porter.
Why Foresight?
VALUES
We value energy and dedication over seniority and status. Self-starters who do not shy away from tough problems are a natural fit for us.
CULTURE
We balance a start-up feel, with the opportunity to solve problems for Fortune 100 clients. We foster a collaborative environment that makes room for new ideas and encourages ‘productive disagreements’
GROWTH
We are a small, expanding team which enables accelerated career progression and personal development. The growth of our employees is the engine of our success.
We are a growing team who take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We look for analytically-wired self-starters, problem-solvers, and people driven by curiosity.
