MIKE STEWART

Board Member/Advisor

Mike is the Founder of The Predictive Group. After running a public company in 1990, he implemented Predictive Index into his company to assist with hiring and business needs. He was instantly mesmerized by the Predictive Index Survey’s ability to predict performance. By 1993, Mike was supporting PI Certified Managers across the globe. Mike has observed thousands of PI Trained Managers begin the transition to true leaders in their organizations by adjusting their performance behaviors. Tuning into one’s performance behaviors requires understanding of those behaviors and having a clear perspective on the Fits and Gaps with one’s ambition. It is truly one of the greatest pleasures in Mike’s life to have watched personal careers accelerate as managers begin to have fun leading others by applying their Predictive Index knowledge.

As a graduate of the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Business and an Honorably Discharged Disabled Veteran from the United States Air Force, Mike began his career in the telephone and desktop software industries, quickly moving into leadership roles and navigating companies through acquisitions, mergers, and product launches.

Mike purchased 43 restaurants in the Western United States. It was during this time that Mike first saw the impact of Predictive Index within his company, and how it can create a successful human infrastructure. After successfully serving as an Associate for PI Worldwide for 6 years, Mike purchased the PI License for Arizona in 2000. As the demand grew, The Predictive Group expanded their product line, adding cognitive assessments and leadership training modules, as well as acquiring licenses in California, Oregon,. Washington, New Mexico, and Nevada.

KELLIE FERN

Director of Business Operations and Development

Kellie joined the Predictive Group in 2016 after I graduating from Arizona State University with an emphasis in Business Management. During my first 2 ½ years in the business, I was a part of the Shared Services team and was able to support and consult with clients on all their business needs. 

Life then brought me to Dallas, TX where I worked within a hospitality technology company in a sales enablement and learning development role. I was able to globally train and develop all the incoming and current sales reps within the business. During my time there, I was able to utilize PI and fell back in love with the value the tool can bring to organizations. 

I found that my passion with PI was something I wanted to pursue on a more permanent basis and I am excited to continue to share the value human analytic tools can bring to all organizations.
