Stacia Jorgensen

VP of Research

team member top wave

Stacia Jorgensen brings an array of experiences and expertise in data collection, analysis, and research reporting to Ecsell as the Vice President of Research. Prior to moving into her role with Ecsell, Stacia led a non-profit academic research organization for nearly 13 years. Loving a good amount of data variation, she has three dogs that range in size from 10 lbs to 140 lbs. Despite being the most logical of all the Ecsell team members, she’s also the biggest fan of trash TV – her Real Housewives knowledge is on par with that of her survey methodology expertise. She resides in the mountains outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband and two spunky teenagers.

As part of her role, she leads all research initiatives for both Ecsell Sports and Ecsell Institute. Her work includes creating Ecsell’s coaching performance assessments and was instrumental in helping Ecsell translate coaching into a series of measurable metrics. Stacia’s goal is to help Ecsell’s clients discover actionable insights surrounding coaching effectiveness that allow them to achieve the highest performance levels. Her research discoveries now provide leaders with a never seen before view of team performance that is changing how teams are coached, led and inspired.

Before moving into her role with Ecsell, Stacia led a non-profit academic research organization for nearly 13 years. Additionally, she has consulted with many for-profit organizations looking to improve their data collection methodologies and design procedures for sharing their data in meaningful ways. Stacia has expertise in both qualitative and quantitative data collection methodologies.

Stacia received a Master of Arts in Sociology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In addition to her experience in collecting data, she also teaches undergraduate level Sociology courses. While her heart lies with Research Methods and Applied Sociology courses, she has also taught courses on the Sociology of Sport, Marriage and the Family, and the Sociology of Crime. This academic background in Sociology influences Stacia to look at Ecsell’s coaching research beyond simply numbers but from a human behavior and real-world perspective.
