About Brian Landes

I work in strategic research and growth intelligence, helping organizations reduce uncertainty when evaluating expansion, investment, and location-based business decisions.My career has focused on advancing market research and spatial intelligence capabilities across commercial real estate, portfolio planning, and enterprise growth strategy environments.Across roles at organizations including Luck Companies, I have supported geospatial market analytics, expansion planning, and strategic evaluation frameworks that help guide long-term business and territory optimization decisions.My experience spans research leadership and applied analytics contributions supporting location strategy, market intelligence, and decision-support modeling for national and regional business initiatives.I am particularly interested in research approaches that help both answer defined strategic questions and identify the most meaningful questions to explore. I enjoy working in environments where curiosity-driven analysis improves organizational understanding of growth potential and planning context.I focus on producing insights that are practical for stakeholders, defensible in strategic planning environments, and directly useful in guiding decision processes.More broadly, I am interested in aligning research design with organizational strategy to support long-term value creation. I enjoy working at the intersection of structured research frameworks, emerging business questions, and enterprise planning priorities.I am interested in contributing to research and strategy environments where insights support executive decision-making and long-term organizational direction.
