Jamie Winter, co-owner of Furniture Mall, grew up in the family furniture business in Emporia, Kansas with his Dad, Uncle, and Grandfather running the company. After high school he went off to college, graduated with an engineering degree, and went to work in the corporate world. While in the corporate world, he worked for Motorola in various roles of engineering, engineering management, and general management. Jamie also started a factory from scratch in China for Motorola and grew that factory to 1,300 employees and $500M in sales. In every role, Jamie discovered a lack of data to make critical business decisions. He developed several data analytic tools to solve this lack of data which was distributed worldwide to all factories. In 2009, the family business was expanding and growing in Topeka, Kansas and it was great opportunity to re-join the family business and exit the corporate world. Jamie invested his life savings and bought into the family business. Once on board, he quickly realized there was no data to make critical business decisions and had no idea if he would ever get a return on his investment. With his software development experience and data analysis mindset, Jamie quickly began to extract data from the Point-of-Sale system to generate tools for their own business.
