Over more than three decades, Peter has led and advised public, private, venture-backed, private equity-owned, and nonprofit organizations. His work connects strategy with operations: assembling complementary leadership teams, defining success, and establishing the governance, measures, incentives, and communication practices that help organizations reach their potential to perform and grow.
Manage to Lead draws on that experience. It gives leadership teams a practical system for developing and maintaining a shared understanding of their business, the results they seek, and the work required to achieve them.
As CEO of Compusearch, now Unison, Peter guided the company through its acquisition by the Carlyle Group and expanded it from one product in one market to multiple products across two markets. During his five years as CEO, annual revenue tripled, margins increased, and the company sold for four times invested capital. He then served as board chair for another five years through a subsequent sale. After a series of follow-on hold periods the firm most recently transacted at valuation above $2B.
Peter also served as president and director of Touchstone Consulting. During his involvement, the firm grew from 20 people and $4 million in annual revenue to 130 people and more than $30 million before its sale to what is now part of GDIT.
As president, COO, and a board member of Aquilent, Peter led the separation of a $20 million business unit from CommerceOne and established it as an independent firm. Aquilent later became part of Booz Allen Hamilton. He also held board and top operating roles at BTG, now partof L3Harris Technologies, and Hyperion Software, now part of Oracle.
Peter began his career at American Management Systems, where he helped the nascent company grow over two decades into a billion-dollar information technology services and enterprise software business. As a member of its executive operating group, he founded and grew the Finance Industry practice profitably to $175 million.
Peter has held adjunct professorships at the University of San Francisco, Golden Gate University, and American University. His graduate course, Leading Change: Organization Analysis and Strategy, became the foundation for IntelliVen’s online Manage to Lead Training Program for executive teams.
Peter’s nonprofit work includes helping RescueSF in its early development and supporting organizations including Teardrops2Rainbows, KidsActingOut among many others. He was a founding member of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Commonwealth Honors College Board of Advisors, serving for three decades. He also advised the UMass Amherst Chancellor and senior leadership team in applying Manage to Lead, an experience they described as “life-changing.”
