Meet The Founder
Hello, I’m Jonathan T. Griffin, MBA, the founder of Pier Writing Services. I believe in the transformative impact of effective writing, which can unlock opportunities, propel careers forward, and foster positive outcomes. With over ten years of experience in business strategy, education, and entrepreneurship, I am committed to equipping professionals with the tools they need to articulate their value clearly and confidently. Together, we can refine your communication skills and help you achieve your goals.
My Story
My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Western Carolina University, where I focused on Business Administration and Law as part of my pre-law studies. I further enhanced my understanding with coursework in strategic management at Fayetteville State University. I earned my MBA from Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management, with a specialization in entrepreneurship and business analytics. This diverse educational background has provided me with invaluable skills in marketing, data-driven decision-making, leadership, and global business strategy, all of which I apply in my work every day.
Before founding Pier Writing Services, I spent years as an entrepreneur, supporting peers and business owners by translating complex business concepts into accessible language. This commitment to transparency and clarity continues to shape my approach today. I have had the privilege of collaborating with professionals across various fields—including e-commerce, engineering, education, healthcare, and technology—to craft impactful resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and professional bios that truly showcase their strengths.
As a dedicated business mentor with SCORE Raleigh, I have guided over 40 startups, small businesses, and nonprofits in essential areas, including business planning, marketing, financial forecasting, and growth strategy. I find immense fulfillment in helping both emerging entrepreneurs and established professionals navigate career transitions, providing insights that lead to tangible success.
In addition to my writing and mentoring work, I have spent years tutoring graduate and undergraduate students in business and writing. I focus on helping students master complex concepts in areas like business strategy, entrepreneurship, law, and analytics by breaking down technical material into clear, actionable insights. I also support academic writing, assisting with everything from structuring research papers, theses, proposals, and case studies to refining clarity, tone, and formatting. I aim to help students excel academically while also equipping them with the communication skills needed for their future careers.
At Pier Writing Services, I strive to integrate business expertise, strategic thinking, and personalized storytelling to help you differentiate yourself in a competitive marketplace. My main goal is to ensure that every word on your resume or profile truly reflects your hard work and dedication. If you're prepared to enhance your career documents or professional messaging, I would be thrilled to partner with you on this rewarding journey toward success.
