A very happy Five-Year Anniversary to John Pulliam 🎉. John has worn many hats at Vested, but sits in the seat of Chief Financial Officer overseeing all finance, systems, HR, and more. He has been a linchpin and core contributor to our exponential growth over these past five years. John was an original partner and board member back in 2014 before joining full-time operationally in 2020. Since then, he has been named a Jacksonville Business Journal Ultimate Finance Executive. A native of Indianapolis, John schooled at both Wheaton College and Colombia University before entering the finance, hedge fund, and investment world. He's literally lived from coast-to-coast (WA to NY) in the U.S. and also brings experience from the insurance and technology industries. He was an accomplished collegiate runner, recreational basketball player, sports enthusiast (particularly hockey), hiker, avid reader, learner, strong man of faith, and really a true renaissance man. Most importantly, he is a dedicated husband, father, son, brother, and friend. “John has been a true partner, operator, co-laborer, friend, and guidepost for myself and the entire organization. His acumen and world class skillset is only surpassed by his humility and character. He operates with unsurpassed integrity and makes everything and everyone around him better. His dedication and drive are unmatched. Without John there would be no Vested Metals! I truly am amazed at his level of understanding, efficiency, and desire to continue developing as a leader while also developing leadership in others” said Viv Helwig, Founder and President of Vested Metals International. Our entire organization thanks him for his unmatched and unparalleled contributions!”
