Ed Pierce (LinkedIn/Twitter @edwarddpierce ) has over 25 years work of experience having most recently served in a strategic projects capacity at Dun & Bradstreet as a Vice President of Operations.  He has a bold vision coupled with an ability to make strategic visions happen.  He has managed projects throughout the organization by leading a number of M&A integrations, launched a handful of acquired products to D&B’s North American sales force, ran operations of a carved out business as it was transitioned to its buyer, and has realized over $110M of savings through a portfolio of reengineering initiatives.  

As a Vice President of Operations, Ed sat in almost every part of D&B that was required.  He drove the go-to-market strategies for two of the three most recent acquisitions (led the entire integration of one of the three) and even took point in designing and launching a new product leveraging an acquired social matching engine.  Mr. Pierce also successfully led a crisis in China that resulted in the shut-down of a $25M business unit while ensuring the success of the remaining two operations.
