HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pioneer Landscape Centers, a regional firm with 34 retail outlets in the western U.S., today announced that three leading business publications recognized Pioneer for exceptional corporate leadership and innovation.
The Chief’s Digest, CIO Bulletin, and The Silicon Review each picked Pioneer for inclusion in lists of outstanding organizations and managers. Specifically, former Pioneer President Paul Tudor made the 10 Inspiring Leaders list produced by CIO Bulletin. The Silicon Review named Pioneer to its 50 Innovative Companies to Watch in 2021 list, and The Chief’s Digest placed Pioneer among the 25 Innovative Companies to Watch in 2021 list.
Each publication focused on different Pioneer achievements that earned inclusion in these prestigious rankings. CIO Bulletin shined a spotlight on how management guided previously low-tech workers to enthusiastically embrace high-tech systems.
The Chief’s Digest covered Pioneer’s technology investments that dramatically enhanced employee productivity and customer service. The Silicon Review covered this technology as well, explaining how this mid-size firm staffed up its IT department from two desktop support workers to a full-fledged software-development team that turned a non-technical retail operation into a highly efficient service organization.
“Most of the technology investments we’ve made at Pioneer have aimed at making our employees’ lives easier so they could deliver outstanding customer service,” said company executive chairman and CEO, Mark Adamson, who also serves as managing director for JLL Partners, the equity firm that owns Pioneer Landscape Centers. “These honors prove that our leadership team holds the right vision for this company, while our employees produce technology and processes that place Pioneer’s serviceability well beyond the competition’s.”
