From 2013–2016, Joyce was the CFO of a multibillion dollar privately held grocery chain in the Southeast, which provided her experience with developing a long-term financial strategy, forecasting, budgeting, selecting and implementing an ERP system along with experience with acquisitions, real estate, incentive plans, benefits and benefit plans, investments, treasury and capital planning.
