Intellaegis Announces Retirement of Founders John and Perla Lewis, Welcomes Steve Schroeder as New CEO

EL DORADO HILLS, California / ACCESSWIRE / September 10, 2024 / Intellaegis, Inc., a leader in creating SaaS software solutions to critical business challenges for the financial services and government sectors, announces the retirement of its founders, John and Perla Lewis. John, CEO, and Perla, CFO, are stepping down from their roles in the Company after a successful 40-year career as entrepreneurs. Together, the Lewises successfully founded and exited eight previous startups before founding Intellaegis in 2011. Both remain shareholders in the Company, and John Lewis will continue to serve on its Board of Directors. Their retirement will be effective October 31, 2024.

The leadership transition began with the hiring of Lance Suder as the company’s Chief Operating Officer in 2018. Suder played a key role in driving the company’s growth as a member of the executive team and ensuring a smooth leadership transition during this time of change.

In addition, Steve Schroeder, the original investor in Intellaegis and founder of CoreLogic, has taken a more active role in the company over the past year. Following John Lewis’ departure, he will assume the role of CEO, in addition to his current role as Chief Strategy Officer. Schroeder is credited with playing a key role in creating the vision and building CoreLogic into a leading data and risk analytics company in the real estate industry.

John and Perla Lewis have a long history of innovation in the auto finance industry. In 1988, they founded the first Skip Tracing company and in 1994, the first vehicle repossession transfer company, ARS. The two pioneering companies transformed the process of transferring high-risk auto loans to third-party providers, allowing lenders to work with a single large provider instead of directly managing several hundred smaller providers. This “repo” model has since evolved into a billion-dollar industry in the auto finance sector. Their latest creation, masterQueue, streamlines many customer-facing processes, with the core functionality of being able to locate and contact individuals through data aggregation, automation, and analytics.

“We are incredibly proud of the journey we have taken with Intellaegis and are confident that the future is bright with Steve Schroeder at the helm,” said John Lewis. “Steve’s unparalleled experience building and scaling data-driven businesses makes him the ideal leader to continue the evolution of masterQueue.”

Schroeder’s leadership at CoreLogic, where he established the company as a dominant force in real estate data and risk management, is a testament to his ability. His experience in creating innovative solutions and risk models that drive industry standards will be instrumental as he leads the company forward.

“I am honored to assume the CEO role at Intellaegis,” said Schroeder. “Having been involved with Intellaegis since its inception, I have always believed in its potential. I look forward to building on the strong foundation laid by John and Perla and leading the company to new heights.”

Suder added, “We have an excellent, dedicated team that is well-positioned for continued success. I look forward to working closely with Steve and the entire Intellaegis team to take our product and company to the next level.”
