Tango Management Consulting Announces Acquisition of InSite Analytics

Tango Management Consulting, LLC announced today the acquisition of InSite Analytics, the premier provider of Retail Market Optimization and Sales Forecasting Models. David Bunten, CEO of InSite Analytics, will join the practice as the Director of TMC's Retail Analytics group. Previous to founding InSite, Bunten served in key roles at Equifax NDS (now part of Claritas), ESRI, Thompson Associates / MapInfo, and geoVue. A veteran corporate advisor with more than 15 years of experience in the retail analytics sector, Bunten will lead the Dallas-based company's day-to-day operations of the Retail Analytics practice.

Additionally, TMC would like to announce the hiring of Mark Zygmontowicz former Partner and EVP at Thompson Associates. Zygmontowicz will have overall business unit responsibility for retail analytics at TMC. As one of the first Partners at Thompson Associates and a member of the ICSC Research Advisory Task Force, Zygmontowicz has been an industry thought leader in retail analytics for over 25 years. The additions of Bunten and Zygmontowicz will reunite key members of the highly successful former Thompson Associates. Founded in 1959, Thompson Associates was the nation's leader in retail market research and the largest firm of its kind in the United States until its acquisition by MapInfo in 2003.

The additions of Zygmontowicz and the InSite Analytics team will bring the most experienced retail analytics team to TMC, having collectively served hundreds of retail clients over the past 20 years.

"I'm tremendously pleased to welcome Mark, David, and the entire InSite Analytics team to the practice," said Jack Thompson, president and CEO of Tango Management Consulting. "They will immediately establish TMC as the leader in the retail analytics realm. Mark and David's experience with market optimization and sales forecasting models will be a tremendous asset to the firm's clientele as they look to optimize their existing store portfolios, open successful new locations, and maximize their return on invested capital."

"The experience that Mark and David bring will greatly enhance the innovative solutions we are developing for Retail Store Lifecycle Management at TMC," concluded Thompson.
