Peter is a differentiated leader and advisor with a mix of hands-on, "been there / done that" experience combined with exposure to world-class operations and a proven track record of getting businesses from point A to B. He leads by example, and is most passionate about responsibly scaling companies that are trying to make the world a better place. Peter's nearly 20 years of industry experience have yielded both a deep and broad understanding of how companies run, and the talent and functional capabilities that set the top players apart. After studying Industrial Engineering in undergrad and getting hands-on experience in supply chains and manufacturing, Peter spent his early career doing technology, innovation, and operations consulting, then spent 5 years in industry running and scaling food companies before shifting into Higher Ed to focus on the people side of business at the Kellogg School of Management, his alma mater. Technology enablement and digital transformation has been a theme throughout Peter's career, and he thrives at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology in an increasingly complex and data-driven world. Peter combines hands-on operational expertise, systems-level thinking, and deep strategy/analytics capabilities with the change and relationship management skills needed to get the job done. Peter is driven by big ideas, but is often recognized for "how" he works - bringing others along through the strategic change process, and winning with integrity and trust. In addition to growing and guiding companies and spending time with family, Peter carves out time to train for and compete in endurance events throughout the year. From chasing kids to renovating his 100 year old home to pursuing personal bests, there is never a dull moment!
Listed skills include Entrepreneurship, Business Development, Consumer Products, Marketing Strategy, and 46 others.
