About Tom Pierce

Creative, thoughtful, industrious \"Di\"(ENTJ) employing strategic or tactical leadership styles based on the tasks and situations at hand. A transformative Intrapreneur backed by 15 years of also bringing robust technical savvy, superlative business acumen, and fully developed emotional intelligence to the table.In fact, I don\'t just \"believe\" in Big Data analytics, heavy use of Platform Technology, and Diverse Entrepreneurial Cultures but understand precisely how to deploy these and similar practices corporately. Furthermore, I make it my business to know the business, aligning visions with teams empowered by open dialogue, genuine purpose, and processes free of undue complexity to deliver what\'s then only measurable, real-world results!Lastly, perennial success throughout a career spent at globally-integrated enterprises certifies me as Manager of not only People Operations but sibling functions like Strategy & Innovation, Services & Solutions Design, Product Delivery & Support, and Sales & Marketing now, as well. I bring these strengths to bear alongside an equally unpretentious array of SLT and perhaps even inaugural Board-level capabilities.Top Attributes:• Consultative Subject Matter Expert (Trusted Advisor)• Inclusive Design Thinker (Collaborates for Consensus)• Operational Excellence Luminary (Next Practices supplant Best Practices)Top Skills:• Human Capital Management• Building Delightful Cultures & People Programs• Centralized PMO & Lean Six Sigma MethodologyTop Quotes:• To thine own self be true [Shakespeare]• Better outcomes require better decisions• It\'s never the wrong time to do the right thingTop Interests:• Entertainment (TV, movies, literature, professional sports, performing arts, video games)• Outdoorsmanship (skiing, snowboarding, boating, camping, fishing, hiking, kayaking, ATV riding)• Motorsports (track days in my GR Circuit Edition & globetrotting whenever possible atop a G310GS)Fun Facts:Having grown up on \"quad\" roller skates I was a repeat National Champion speed skater :) whereas these days I\'m more apt to join softball, basketball, kickball, soccer, disc golf, and bowling leagues!As the crux of my fast-track to CPO / CHRO at Genpact, I was mapping \"Fourth Bottom Line\" practices to the hiring and retention of Top Talent at key trajectories [Entry-level, Experienced, Executive] when I founded KATALEPSIS mid-pandemic instead.

   The dawn of a new era and not just for me but.if I do my job well.all mankind as well. Strong words indeed, and rightly so! Kindly read on to see for yourselves how this becomes true:By combining Digital Technology, Expert Judgement, Sustainability, and \"functionally realistic\" Corporate Altruism I help any entity, anywhere in the world, come to understand what Quadruple Bottom Lines are. Based on those practices, I then design, implement, and/or directly execute on the very Policies, Processes, and resulting Programs necessary for materially benefitting from and otherwise enjoying a provable QBL either as an individual seeking to join such organizations, or the sponsor enterprises themselves be they large, medium, or small and agnostic of industry.It seems I\'ve been doing this wittingly and, oftentimes, even unwittingly throughout my career as a proven, high-impact thought leader and critical thinker. Grander still, I\'ve dedicated my wider existence to helping humanity evolve into what I can only hope becomes a real-life version of Star Trek someday (originally by way of best and next practices specific to Workforce Management but, in recent years, through more holistic business transformation as my chosen vehicle). Even so, only those that want AND deserve a QBL will garner a right-sized portion of my limited time here on Earth replete with the maximum possible amount of both effort (in general) and brand championship (specifically).
