Summary
Virgil Pierce is a Utility Finance Manager for Greeley Water and Sewer who leverages a PhD in Mathematics and two decades of academic leadership to bring rigorous quantitative methods to public utility finance. After transitioning from directing a university math school and leading student-success initiatives, he now applies programming, statistics, and mathematical modeling to improve forecasting, rate design, and budget efficiencies for municipal water and sewer systems. Comfortable across Python, C++, R, Rust, Haskell and Linux (and learning Julia), he builds computational tools that bridge theory and practical decision-making. His background in preparing students for industry careers and running multi-county college-readiness programs gives him a pragmatic, community-focused approach to public administration and stakeholder engagement.
