Jeff Pierce honored as "Executive Leadership Luminary" by ThinkAdvisor

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeff Pierce, CEO of Wipfli Financial Advisors, has been recognized as a Luminary for Executive Leadership by ThinkAdvisor. The award program, in its inaugural year, represents achievements by advisors, firms and executives serving the financial planning and wealth management industry.

The Executive Leadership category honors leaders who demonstrate results and innovation in overall business growth, practice management, client education and more. Executives were selected for adding value "in ways other firms aren't."

"Jeff demonstrated the true spirit of a leader in the height of the pandemic," said Katie Cullen, chief strategy and innovation officer for Wipfli Financial, who nominated Pierce. "He worked tirelessly, and with great heart, to connect with our associates and bolster their confidence in a time of great disruption."

Pierce had personal conversations with roughly 100 employees, reaching every member of the Wipfli Financial team. Additional touchpoints included virtual coffee chats and monthly town halls that continue today.

Despite the challenging year, he championed new firm benefits, including expanded family leave (including paternity leave) and a shift to flexible paid time off, including mechanisms to ensure employees actually take time away.

Wipfli Financial did not reduce staff or pay as a response to the pandemic. Rather, the firm continued to grow, opening new Wipfli Financial offices in Denver, Colorado, and Boseman, Montana.
