HeliaData was founded by Owen West in February 2021. He graduated from BYU with a Master of Information Systems Management in 2004. After working for a Microsoft Gold partner (VAR) in California for five years as a CRM consultant, he realized the enjoyment of working with teams who leverage data in tandem with line-of-business computer applications.

After a brief two year “data sabbatical” working for BeeHive Homes of New Mexico as a care giver and assisted living home administrator, he could not turn down an opportunity to grow with a transportation start-up company named American Logistics based in Southern Utah. After ten years with AL and working with many people AND computers, he founded HeliaData determined to help businesses better understand the data they collect and make informed data-driven decisions.
