Rita Pierok

“Rita is a consummate professional and “connector” in addition to being a wonderful human with a kind heart! I can’t think of anyone I’d recommend more as a business development and marketing professional ”

“Rita is phenomenal in working with teams. She is an active listener and with her creativity is able to bring consensus among her team. Rita is a take charge manager who will hold herself accountable for the work she does as well as others who are reporting to her. I worked with Rita for nearly 10 years and have know her for many more and I would strongly recommend her for any marketing or senior leadership role. She is a leader.”

“What I liked most about working with Rita for nearly five years was her ability to recognize the value that her team members brought to our firm. It was obvious that she had tremendous strategic expertise, but at the same time, she valued the specialties of her supporting cast and utilized both areas to help drive significant growth for our firm. I think this is what defines a great leader – and the primary reason our marketing team flourished under her direction. Rita is a true professional, who is both genuine and driven to succeed. She was laser focused on continuously finding ways to optimize our marketing strategy, while remaining flexible and open to new ideas. I know that she has the experience, leadership skills and vision to help any organization become more profitable. ”

“Rita is the definition of a true leader. Someone who not only cares about the members of her team professionally, but personally as well. She is the type of director that inspires her team members to not only work hard for the firm and themselves, but in turn, her as well. Rita has been very instrumental in my growth as a professional and person during the nearly five years I worked with her, and I cannot thank her enough for all of the opportunities and challenges she has given me while we worked together. Any firm would be lucky to have her. ”

“I have worked with Rita Pierok since she joined Baker Tilly, nearly 5 years ago. Rita oversaw and managed the marketing team for Pennsylvania when she arrived, and her responsibilities grew during her tenure to managing marketing for the entire eastern region. As a Director of Business Development for Pennsylvania, I worked elbow-to-elbow with Rita and her team on a daily basis. My experiences with Rita, and her team, point to her capabilities to build and guide an effective marketing department. Her team has consistently produced marketing documents that showcase our firm's capabilities, and tailored them to the unique profiles of our clients, including diverse industries, sizes, structures, and more. Getting things out on-time in a VERY fast-paced and demanding environment can be challenging, and Rita empowered her team to make smart decisions and move projects forward quickly. Notably, Rita also built a great deal of loyalty among her reports, as evidenced by their willingness to jump into projects at all stages, cover for one another during vacations and other absences, and produce high-quality work on short notice for both internal and external clients. I would recommend Rita for her skills in marketing and for leading a department in which speed, creativity, and loyalty are required. ”

“Rita is one of the most appreciative, most caring people that I've ever met, let alone worked with. She is respected by our marketing team and is highly regarded throughout our firm. She has impressive marketing instincts and a natural ability to connect with people. Rita brings a diversified marketing skill-set, a hard-working attitude and a kind-hearted approach to her job -- and this has been her style consistently, on a daily basis, ever since I've known her. ”

“I’m fortunate for having the opportunity to work for Rita. She manages a team with a diverse set of backgrounds and skill sets and does it seamlessly. I’m grateful for Rita’s leadership and appreciative of her trust in me to do my job. I’ve had many managers during my career and I have enjoyed learning from and collaborating with Rita the most. ”

“Rita Pierok is a motivated, innovative and highly-strategic Marketing Director. Rita and I have worked together for five years at Baker Tilly and I have always been impressed with her professionalism and ability to lead a large, cohesive marketing team that produces valuable results for the firm. She is well respected at Baker Tilly and the East Region marketing team has excelled under her leadership and thoughtful coaching. ”
