Jerry Burke

President and Founder

Leadership

Since graduating Boston College in 1989, Jerry has had a distinguished career in the parcel industry, most of it at UPS.

There he cultivated and honed his perspective for all things parcel. His roles included leading large teams in the formulation and execution of sales strategy, negotiations training, incentive and revenue management, and product development. Jerry has personally inspired multi-billion dollar business units through his creativity, passion, and leadership.

Director of New Product Development

Jerry's team created the product known today as UPS SurePost. He led the sales organization responsible for transforming UPS's residential strategy and bringing its postal hybrid solution to market. His understanding of the direct-to-consumer marketplace is deep and exceptional.

Director of US Sales Operations

At the helm of a $15B sales organization, Jerry was directly responsible for the UPS Strategy Room, a cross-functional team that reviewed every field sales agreement worth $25M or more per year. His team determined which variables to negotiate, and under what conditions. Jerry personally participated in the negotiation of agreements valued in excess of $1B.

Vice President, Strategic Accounts

Jerry led negotiations training for the strategic accounts organization, ensuring UPS sales had the skills to protect its interests with its largest clients. UPS recognized him as one of the world's top performers in this capacity.

Our name

So what's in a name?

I'm a hockey fan, and our name has its roots in Boston. Back in the "old days" the Boston Bruins' home ice was the Boston Garden (or the "Gahd'n" if you're from Boston). Playing there was fairly intimidating for visiting teams. The seating was so close to the action that fans were literally hanging over the ice from the balconies. The fans, as a group, became known as the "Seventh Man": six players on the ice, and the fans made one more.

Boston fans are passionate and knowledgeable about their teams. They study every element of the game and understand its history, and that perspective lets them see things the casual observer misses. They use those insights to predict what happens next, how the match-ups will fare, and which strategy will exploit an opponent's weaknesses.

Like the early days of hockey in Boston, 7th Man Analytics is an extension of your team. Your team is fielded by your players and captained by one of your group. We're always there, behind the scenes, providing advice and counsel as you compete in a market full of aggressive competitors.

  1. Free your resources from tactical considerations and resource drains, and let them focus on strategy and execution.
  2. We've engineered robust analytical tools to parse and interpret data in meaningful ways.
  3. Our proven methodology improves our clients' cost position, providing a competitive advantage as they go to market.
