With 15+ years as a marketing leader, I have implemented global marketing and communication strategies, developed and trained new organizational processes, launched programs, and managed rapidly growing teams. Now, I help start-up leaders get clarity, confidence, and support to effectively handle the hyper-growth that occurs from series funding. As a high-performing marketing leader, long-time consultant, and organizational observer in various sectors of business, I saw time and again how critical the correct information at the right time was to employees, managers, and executives. I became passionate about helping others develop the tools they needed to win at whatever their goals were. From guiding young professionals in understanding how they contribute to their specific organizations to advising senior leaders on how to manage significant change in order to achieve growth, I've been able to change organizations and communities.

The narrative of Greg Pierson Iovation professional journey took a significant turn with the acquisition of my latest venture, iovation, by TransUnion in 2018. Beyond the financial success, this milestone was a testament to the strong sense of community and culture we had cultivated within the company.

This parallel journey has not only been a source of personal fulfillment but has also offered unique insights into the parallels between nurturing talent in the business and sports arenas.

Now an experienced statistical programmer and data analyst, my professional journey from makeup artist to data professional exemplifies resilience and determination. Hailing from Nashua, New Hampshire, I am inclined to research and innovation; I am also an active community member, real estate investor, and single mom of two. Born and raised in Rhode Island, I have always had a passion for learning, a trait I imbue in my children. I have two children who consistently excel academically and place at the regional and national levels in academic competitions. Balancing my role as a single mom and enabling my children to explore their potential speaks to my skills and passions. Before my current role, I worked as a makeup artist, emphasizing confidence and personal expression in all clients. Trading makeup brushes for a MacBook Pro, I started a graduate program in data science at Harvard in 2019 with zero prior experience, driven by the purpose of creating a meaningful life for my children. I studied MIT OpenCourseWare to learn the math skills needed to succeed in my courses and pulled innumerable all-nighters to learn R, statistics, and Python at the level and pace required for the program. This fierce determination and passion led me to graduate from Harvard in 2022 with a number of academic accolades. I was hired at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) four months before graduation, illustrating my exceptional caliber of multi-tasking as any single mom does best. To deepen my field of expertise, I was accepted to Dartmouth for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Health Data Science. Pursuing a second Ivy League quantitative master’s degree, I enrolled full-time on campus while continuing to work at MGH—perhaps the only single mom and nontraditional student who’s even attempted to do so. While attending Dartmouth, I contributed to research in my professional work at MGH that was published in the article “Development of a Definition of Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection” (Thaweethai et al., 2023) in the Journal of American Medicine for which I am named as a contributor. Additionally, during this time, both of my children were invited to participate in the national level science bee competition, robotics regional championships, and MIT science bowl invitational competition, skipped one and two grades in math, respectively, and made the honor roll every term. Despite being tempered by family commitments, I completed half of the program and continued my pursuit of continuous learning. My academic pursuit comes from my love for research and innovation. Initially considering pursuing a PhD, I started my role at MGH to gain research experience. I was accepted to pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of New Hampshire, but she chose to prioritize my responsibilities as a single mom.
