John Sall
Co-Founder & Executive Vice President of SAS
John Sall heads SAS’ JMP business division, which creates interactive and highly visual statistical discovery software designed for scientists and engineers. He also remains the primary architect for JMP®software. Sall joined Jim Goodnight and two others in 1976 to establish SAS. He designed, developed and documented many of the earliest analytical procedures while also leading research and development efforts. In the late 1980s, Sall noticed a niche to fill for researchers and engineers whose jobs didn’t revolve solely around statistical analysis. JMP launched in 1989 to dynamically link statistical analysis with the graphical capabilities of Macintosh computers. Now running on Windows as well, JMP continues to play an important role in modeling processes across industries as a desktop data visualization and analysis tool. It also provides a visual interface to SAS® software. The goal of JMP, Sall said, is to make statistical modeling as friendly, accessible and informative as possible, and to increase the efficiency of experimentation. “The value of statistics is realized when it is translated, taught and delivered with accessible computing environments to the scientists and analysts who use it,” he added. Sall is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest general scientific society. Reflecting his passion for global conservation and environmental issues, he serves on the World Wildlife Fund board, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History advisory board, and is a former board member of The Nature Conservancy. Sall also is a former trustee of North Carolina State University, where he studied graduate-level statistics. In 1997, he and his wife, Ginger, joined Jim and Ann Goodnight in founding Cary Academy, which integrates technology into all facets of education for students in grades six to 12. Sall earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Beloit College and a master’s degree in economics from Northern Illinois University (NIU). Both NIU and NC State awarded him honorary doctorates.

Nick Lisi is responsible for SAS’ global sales in more than 60 countries. He strongly believes that a highly effective sales organization drives consistent, global revenue growth by demonstrating value to its customers. “Helping businesses and organizations tap into the value of analytics so they can gain new insights and achieve unexpected results is very rewarding,” said Lisi. “My job is to continue empowering the global SAS sales teams to understand the challenges our customers face and provide them with the right tools and resources that allow all of us to be successful.” Prior to his current position, Lisi served as Senior Vice President of SAS Sales and Global Field Operations where he developed and executed results-focused strategies and programs for the company’s more than 3,000 sales and operations professionals. Prior to that he was Vice President of SAS Americas, where he was instrumental in growing and developing the organization in the United States, Canada and Latin America. He led the development efforts for the US Customer Loyalty and Retention team and its use of a customer development lifecycle model to ensure SAS remains current with customers’ needs, and to ensure customers receive the maximum value from their SAS investment. The end result of this strategy is a continued culture of excellence for SAS and its customers. As Vice President, Lisi also led the creation of a volume sales channel in the US to accelerate both sales and renewal revenue growth. Since its inception, US Inside Sales has generated more than $150 million in new revenue and established relationships with over 2,700 new customers. Lisi began his SAS career in 2003 as the Vice President of Sales for SAS Canada, where he drove year-over-year revenue growth until his departure in 2005. From 2005 to 2007, Lisi acted as Managing Director for EMC Canada, then President and CEO of AudienceView, a next-generation ticketing company. In both positions, he drove strategy and deployment of effective sales and services models, achieved significant growth, and exceeded quarterly targets. He returned to SAS in 2007 as interim Country Manager for SAS Brazil, where he aligned the organizational structure to support the go-to-market strategy. Lisi has more than 30 years of technology sales experience with companies like IBM and Xerox, where he held both sales and management roles. He holds a bachelor’s degree in history and Italian literature, and a master’s in business administration from the University of Toronto. He currently splits his time between Cary, North Carolina and Toronto, Ontario.

Under Parker’s leadership, the finance organization uses SAS financial and business software solutions, which also provide valuable insights to CFOs and CEOs of SAS customers. In 2011, Triangle Business Journal named Parker CFO of the Year. In an interview with the Journal, he spoke about how he contributes to SAS’ growth. “Working for a privately held company, I have the luxury of spending most of my time trying to look ahead to where and how we are going to grow, rather than reporting on where we have been,” said Parker. “Growth for technology businesses like SAS is fueled by innovation. In order to continue growth and produce innovative products, you must invest. It is important for a CFO to take care of company profits and make wise spending choices that lead to future growth.” Parker is a member of the Wall Street Journal’s CFO Network. He graduated from the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and is a CPA.
