Las Vegas based Applied Chemical Innovations (ACI) has completed its first significant development since partnering with Christeyns USA in January by hiring Perry Pierce as its new Chief Operating Officer, according to a news release. He reports directly to ACI founder Chet Van Orden.
A 17-year laundry industry veteran, Pierce joins ACI after nearly a five year run at Apex Linen in Las Vegas. He started with the company as general manager in June 2017, and was later promoted to vice president of operations in 2020.
Pierce learned about the industry from the ground up. He began as a route service representative and route manager before moving to the sales side of the business at G&K Services. His next stop was as branch manager at UniFirst Corporation, and then moved over to Superior Linen Services as operations manager before taking the GM job at Apex.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
