Pierre Mortemousque has amassed a wealth of expertise in the footwear industry, focusing primarily on sales, product development, and sourcing. His career, now over 25 years, began in Tonneins, France. He sought further education and ventured to the United States, earning a Business Administration degree from Elon University. His initial professional endeavors involved international sales with a French enterprise, ultimately leading to his establishment of Pierre Inc. in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 2009.

This period until 1996 allowed him to influence young minds through his passion for languages and sports, fostering a deep connection with the local community.

His career trajectory shifted significantly when he joined Consolidated Shoe Company in Lynchburg in 1996. He progressed through various roles over the next 13 years, ultimately becoming Vice President of Tradewinds Europe. He managed and expanded the company and branded retail channels in this capacity.

The entrepreneurial call led him to establish Pierre Inc. in 2009, a company dedicated to designing and manufacturing footwear that meets the demands of large U.S. retail chains. His business specializes in affordable footwear for women and children, with production facilities in China ensuring efficient operations and timely delivery amidst challenges like rising labor costs and tariffs.
