Executive Team
Paul L. Graziani
Chief Executive Officer; Co-Founder
Paul Graziani is chief executive officer and co-founder of Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI), the producer of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) analysis software for land, sea, air, space and cyberspace. For more than 20 years, he has championed the use of COTS in the national security and space industries, and, today, AGI’s flagship product, STK, is used in more than 40,000 worldwide installations by aerospace, defense and intelligence professionals. Graziani started his career at General Electric Space Division in 1980, where he held a number of software and engineering roles.
When Graziani and two colleagues launched AGI in his living room in 1989, they put work practices in place that over the years have earned AGI local, state and national recognition for its innovative work environment. In 2004 and 2005, AGI was named the Best Small Company to Work for in America by the Great Place to Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management. In 2006, it took the top spot in the medium company category. AGI was also ranked as one of five top aerospace/ military work environments in North America by Aviation Week and Space Technology in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and by Leadership Excellence magazine as the No. 1 small- to mid-sized firm in North America for leadership development programs.
Graziani has been nominated for and received a number of entrepreneurial excellence awards at both local and national levels. AGI has also enjoyed strong growth and has been named to numerous prestigious lists, including the Military Training Technology magazine’s Top 100, Space News Top 50, Inc. 500, Technology Fast 50, Technology Fast 500, Philly 100 and Softletter Top 100.
Graziani sits on the boards of directors of Passur Aerospace, the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) and Federation of Galaxy Explorers (FOGE). He is a member of the board of governors for the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). He formerly served on the Advisory Board for Penn State Great Valley and is an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). After fulfilling his board tenure, he was recently elected to the honorary position of life director of The Space Foundation. He earned a B.S. in biology from LaSalle College.
Scott Reynolds
Chief Software Architect; Co-Founder
Scott Reynolds is the chief software architect and vice president of AGI. He is one of three founders of AGI, the leading producer of commercial analysis and visualization software for the national security and space communities. Reynolds is responsible for the architectural oversight of the STK software suite; providing leadership and management on design strategies; and focusing on the development and maintenance of 2-D and 3-D graphics within the product offerings. Reynolds' key role is the development of software architectures that provide a flexible platform for the STK product suite and custom AGI technology solutions.
Reynolds spent eight years at General Electric (Space Division), where he served as a senior software engineer. In this capacity, he developed state-of-the-art software for classified real-time satellite command and control systems. In January 1989, he left GE to start AGI. He and two other founders created STK, the company's flagship product, in the belief that the increasing use of computer graphics to translate large amounts of raw data into manageable and useful information would transform space systems analysis.
Along with fellow co-founder Graziani, Reynolds was named the regional winner in the technology category of Ernst & Young's 2005 Entrepreneur of the Year contest. Reynolds was named a regional finalist in the 1998, 2000, and 2002 competitions. Reynolds earned his bachelor's of science degree in computer and information science from the University of Florida. He resides with his wife and three children in West Chester, PA.
