Pearce Lantzy
CFO, RealmOne
When Pearce Lantzy joined RealmOne, the company’s financial operations were spread across five separate systems, creating silos, inefficiencies and inconsistent reporting. He led the design and integration of a new unified financial system and data lake that connected all five entities within eight months. The result was streamlined processes, measurable cost savings and real-time financial insight that improved decision-making across the organization.
The company’s deep integration across the entire intelligence lifecycle — from collection to analysis and dissemination — uniquely positions it to advance the administration’s priorities in defense and national security. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including agentic AI, and proven tradecraft, RealmOne work closely with customers and remain agile to deliver efficient intelligence solutions and mission support.
“Pearce is a key architect of our company’s financial and strategic direction, playing a critical role in devising and executing strategies that have strengthened our market position and long-term growth,” said Gary Daigle, CEO of RealmOne. “A true leader in financial operations, Pearce has successfully navigated a complex financial landscape at RealmOne, demonstrating expertise in consolidating and raising capital, cash management, and deal negotiations, which have fueled our company’s expansion. He was key in bringing five businesses together under one cost accounting platform, all while navigating intense M&A activity, integrating a team, and a wave of new business wins.”
Why Watch
The market is shifting toward open, data-driven platforms that let finance teams build their own analytics and extract greater value from existing systems. RealmOne is focused on using real-time data visualization to monitor key performance and program management metrics, with a value proposition centered on both customers and employees. Through a phased approach, the company is integrating data and systems across the organization to strengthen its data model and deliver deeper, program-specific insights.
“Leading from the front is about putting people first—building a culture where our teams feel valued and inspired while delivering mission-critical solutions for national security,” Lantzy said. “We aim to be a workplace where talent wants to grow, innovate, and contribute—because when our people thrive, our customers succeed in their most critical missions.”
Fun fact: Lantzy started his career in logistics and once thought he wanted to manage investments for others before realizing his passion was on the CFO track.
