ABOUT JOHN J. PIENCE

I am a strategic, insightful, and focused professional with a dual finance/accounting background, a history of optimizing and scaling day-to-day finance operations, and a talent for aligning teams around common goals. I combine over 18 years\' experience providing financial leadership, vision, and strategic guidance for multiple high-profile organizations; managing all aspects of accounting, reporting, and financial operations mitigate risk and to maximize P&L performance; leading a suite of process improvement initiatives to enhance organizational agility and performance; and carefully shaping the processes and policies that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly competitive organization.I am a supportive team leader with a strong ability to take charge of projects, train and empower others, and motivate those around me to do their best work. I believe a leader’s primary duty is to cultivate, professionally develop, and grow confidence in his team. I have the ability, expertise, and coaching skills to drive my team to success.I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a partner, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.I believe that people function best when their leadership strikes a careful balance between hands-on management and laisser-faire oversight. I think people should be given room to work creatively, make mistakes, and build on the knowledge gained from their efforts. After 18+ years in business, I have learned to perfect that delicate balance between autonomy and accountability.
