Who's building it
Built by people who've spent 20 years measuring performance.
Both of us built people analytics inside Google's People Operations. We've been doing this since before it had a name — and Performix is the diagnostic we always wanted in every leader's hands, not just the ones who could staff an I/O-psychology team.
Mike West
Founder & Principal Engineer
20+ years of applied people analytics. Stood up the function from zero at Merck (65,000 employees, a $4B people investment), PetSmart, and Google — where, through its 7K → 21K growth, he built the company's first attrition-prediction model — and later, compensation decision support at The New York Times.
Author of People Analytics For Dummies(Wiley), the first mainstream book on the field, and originator of frameworks used across it. Behavioral science (NAU, UMN). The Performix engine — IRT, MaxDiff, Monte Carlo, value-of-information — is the methodology he's practiced for two decades.
Alvan Santoso
Co-Founder
20 years at Google as an engineering and analytics program manager, building the systems and metrics behind the business — he architected Google's Enterprise Data Warehouse (the single source of truth across product, engineering, sales, and finance), ran sales analytics that grew revenue triple digits, and built Google's PeopleOps reporting team.
Before Google, business intelligence and enterprise performance management at PeopleSoft/Oracle and Hyperion for Fortune 100s. M.S., Operations Research (Stanford); B.S., Finance (Colorado).

Some organizations engage Performix as a tool. Others engage the practice that built it — to run the diagnostic with you, interpret the result, and design the intervention. See the consulting engagement shape →
