Signature Resolution Welcomes Hon. Suzanne DelVecchio (Ret.) to Our Panel of Neutrals

Former Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court brings institutional command, frank expectation management, and two decades of mediation practice to complex dispute resolution.

BOSTON, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Signature Resolution is proud to announce that Hon. Suzanne DelVecchio (Ret.) has joined its panel of neutrals, where she will serve as a mediator and arbitrator specializing in complex business, employment, and civil matters, including personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. A former Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court and one of the most experienced neutrals in the New England legal community, Judge DelVecchio brings to every dispute a thorough command of how courts evaluate cases, a preparation-first approach that sets the terms for honest conversation, and the kind of direct, steady presence that keeps parties moving when the work gets difficult.

Judge DelVecchio approaches the mediation table with a belief that court is among the worst things that can happen to a person, and that conviction shapes how she works: she brings patience and graciousness to every room, de-escalating before the process formally begins, and giving litigants the space to feel heard before the harder conversations start. She is equally direct when directness is required. She does not shy from telling parties what their case is likely worth to a jury, framing it not as her opinion but as the reality they would face in court, and she does so with the authority of someone who has watched those juries return those verdicts. That combination of warmth and frankness is what keeps parties at the table and what has produced her settlement record.

Before entering private dispute resolution, Judge DelVecchio served on the Massachusetts Superior Court, beginning in 1985 as an Associate Justice, presiding over both civil and criminal matters. In 1999, she ascended to the role of Chief Justice, a position she held until 2004. While at the helm of the Superior Court, she launched the Business Litigation Session, a dedicated commercial docket that expanded from a county pilot into a successful statewide program. In another move to make the court more responsive to people and the business community under her leadership, Judge DelVecchio established a pro se mediation program, securing legislative funding to deploy mediators across Massachusetts so that self-represented litigants had meaningful access to resolution. Before her appointment to the bench, she spent a decade as Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Boston and went on to co-found her own litigation firm.

“Judge DelVecchio has spent her career building the kind of credibility that makes a genuine difference in the mediation room,” said Dario Higuchi, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Signature Resolution. “We are excited to welcome her to Signature Resolution.”

Judge DelVecchio has received the Distinguished Jurist Award from the Massachusetts Association of Women Lawyers and the Essex County Bar Association, the Judicial Merit Award from the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers, and honorary Doctors of Law from Suffolk University School of Law and New England School of Law. She served as President of the Massachusetts Association of Women Lawyers and as an Adjunct Professor at Boston University School of Law, where she taught trial practice from 1993 until 2012.

Judge DelVecchio earned her Juris Doctor from Boston College Law School and her Bachelor of Arts from Wheaton College.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
