Biography
Guy Pearce has senior corporate governance experience as a Director on the Board of Directors of a listed bank, senior corporate operations experience as EVP (divisional CEO) in a listed, multinational retailer, as well as corporate governance experience as Chairman of two independent private financial services companies, one of them operating across three countries. His career success is built on generating high ROI from investments in enterprise technology, and he has presented various keynotes internationally on a number of topics associated with this success. Of particular interest is that he presented perhaps the first global, peer-reviewed case study to a global audience on the benefits of Big Data in 2008, a project that generated $94.95 million in incremental value within six months for a multinational bank. Beginning with strategy, his passion extends to creating measurable value, whether it be in strategically managing the drivers of revenue and cost, or in mitigating operating risk. Indeed, his customer-centric mindset, his ability to rally a team together towards a common cause, and an indefatigable focus on delivery has resulted in a solid track record of outputs and measurable value creation. He has qualifications in both Science and Commerce, and has over 20 years of IT, business and strategy consulting experience. He is the founder and managing partner of Toronto-based Big Data firm, REData Performance Consulting, and co-leads the development of Halton’s global Big Data hub. He is an avid outdoorsman and a passionate ultra-endurance cyclist.
