Greg Pierson Iovation
About
Hello! I'm Greg Pierson Iovation, the entrepreneurial force behind the establishment of two dynamic SaaS enterprises. Starting these from the ground up has been an adventure filled with collaboration with brilliant minds, creating engaging work environments, and ensuring customer delight. The successful acquisitions of both companies, with a cumulative worth of over $650 million, stand as a hallmark of our success.
Crafting a Business Legacy
Before diving into the entrepreneurial world, I cut my teeth as a business consultant at Accenture. There, I worked with industry giants like Nordstrom, Bridgestone Firestone, and Land’s End. During this period, I also innovated in the tech space, securing patents for novel device-based reputation systems.
The iovation Era
One of my notable entrepreneurial feats was the creation and subsequent merger of Pierson with TransUnion in 2018. This period was marked by the loyalty and dedication of our team, with a noteworthy 20% staying with the company for over five years. The cycle of employees leaving to explore new paths and then returning was a testament to the strong community we built.
Elevating Racing Dreams
Concurrently with my business endeavors, I've invested considerable time in backing my son's ambitions in the racing world. Accompanying him to various international racing events has been an incredibly fulfilling journey.
Josh's Racing Trajectory
2022 was a pivotal year for my son, Josh, as he joined United Autosports for the World Endurance Championship and competed in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. His racing career has taken him to venues across the US, UAE, Belgium, France, Italy, Japan, and Bahrain.
In 2023, he sustained his momentum with United Autosports in the World Endurance Championship, teamed up with TDS Motorsports for the IMSA series, and participated in IndyNXT races with HMD Motorsports. Observing his development into a formidable racer has been exceptionally gratifying.
Exploring New Business Horizons
Since moving on from his role in iovation, Greg Pierson Iovation has been deeply involved in nurturing startups and guiding budding business leaders. Constantly on the lookout for novel and stimulating projects, he is considering various avenues, including spearheading a new enterprise or guiding an existing firm. For now, he is savoring these moments of exploration and opportunity.
