For John Lie-Nielsen, founder and CEO of One Park Financial, community isn't a line item on a corporate social responsibility report. It's a conviction that has shaped the company since its first day in Coconut Grove.
That conviction is perhaps most visible in his decade-plus of service on the board of directors of Nicklaus Children's Hospital — Florida's largest children's hospital and one of the most respected pediatric medical centers in the country. John has served not just as a member, but as Chair of the Marketing and Hospitality Committee, a role that puts him at the center of the hospital's outreach and community connection efforts.
Nicklaus Children's Hospital serves thousands of children and families across South Florida every year. For a company built on the belief that small businesses are the backbone of communities — and that those communities deserve investment — the alignment is natural.
One Park Financial also maintains its Diamond Society membership with the hospital, one of the highest levels of philanthropic commitment to the institution. It's a relationship that reflects the company's belief that showing up for the community that surrounds you isn't optional — it's part of building something that lasts.
