Co-Founders
P. Tracy Currie
Tracy is dedicated to helping Capto’s clients develop comprehensive operational methodologies and new revenue opportunities to meet their desired outcomes. He has spent his career focused on the media, telecommunications and healthcare industries, working with some of the world’s largest companies to dramatically improve the bottom line by increasing both operating and economic outcomes.
In his work with Capto’s early private equity clients, Tracy spearheaded the creation of the proprietary SYNAPTIC methodology. SYNAPTIC enables quick yet thorough evaluation of acquisition targets for private equity firms. It allows Capto to focus on what matters while going deep to test investment theories, business models, technology, leadership and the ability to perform in a competitive landscape.
Tracy also leads Capto’s customer experience strategy, with a focus on driving revenue through growth and retention. He developed the company’s healthcare toolset to capitalize on five core member experiences using a data-driven analysis to build member experience investment roadmaps, effectively bringing the healthcare insurance industry out of the member experience cellar.
In 2010, Tracy joined the faculty of the University of Tennessee, leading the research to adapt the Vested® business model to IT business relationships. Vested® combines methodology, mindset, and movement to create highly collaborative business relationships in which both parties are equally committed to each other’s success. Tracy currently serves on the University of Colorado Boulder, Leeds School of Business Customer Experience Program Advisory Committee working with faculty to advance course curriculum and provide student mentorship.
In his free time, you’ll find Tracy adventuring in the Colorado terrain in and around Crested Butte, Colorado where he lives with his wife and their 200 lb. English Mastiff, Otis.
