Confirming what you know and finding what you don't
Marcy Phelps, President
Clients tell me I’m easy to work with, and – through communication and trust – we develop long-term professional relationships.
My passions are research and investigative storytelling, and my mission is to help clients mitigate risk when making important business decisions.
I earned my research stripes through more than 20 years of serving clients around the world. Leveraging a Master’s degree in library and information services from the University of Denver, I founded Marcy Phelps & Associates (formerly Phelps Research) in early 2000. Through the years, I’ve developed a strong global network of experts with specialized skills that help me meet my clients’ needs.
My skills lie not only in finding what others might call impossible, but in turning raw data into meaningful insights. As a speaker and author, I am constantly learning new techniques as I share my expertise.
I am a professional researcher, private investigator (North Carolina license #516662), Certified Fraud Examiner, and the author of Research on Main Street: Using the Web to Find Local Business and Market Information.
I’m also a member of these professional associations:
- Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
- Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado
- North Carolina Association of Private Investigators
- National Council of Investigation and Security Services
- Association of Independent Information Professionals (President, 2009 to 2010)
