“Pete’s passion for the growth and development of others, and his dedication to coaching and mentorship is truly inspiring. Eight months ago, when Pete offered to mentor individuals aspiring to grow from Individual Contributor (IC) to Management on LinkedIn, I reached out. Despite not having worked with me before, Pete was open to connecting. It was clear after our initial conversation that Pete’s experiences and perspectives would be invaluable to my manager aspirations.
In our eight months together, Pete has not only shed a light on the rewards of being a manager, but he’s helped me articulate my own “why” for wanting to step into a manager role. Through sharing real-life stories of being a people manager, resources from industry leaders, and coaching me in situations where I can gain informal leadership experience, Pete has shown me how multidimensional being a manager can be. Even in our short time together, his guidance has enabled me to transform the culture of my team, and as a result, I have been promoted to team lead with a clear path toward further career advancement.
Pete not only listens but also genuinely cares about helping me become the best version of myself. His support and mentorship have been invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful for his continued guidance. Thank you, Pete, for your unwavering support and dedication. Your impact on my journey has been profound!
Pete is a great leader and mentor for any organization or individual looking to grow. I highly recommend working with him if you ever get the chance!”

“Pete is an exceptional leader, dedicated to helping others reach their full potential, grow, and always learn. He fosters a culture of diversity, inclusion, and continuous learning, creating a safe environment where everyone can share their thoughts and opinions without fear of judgment. His strong technical background allows him to understand the challenges engineers face and provide valuable, insightful advice when needed. Passionate about reading, Pete has inspired all of us in the organization to read more, famously advocating that even 15 minutes of reading a day adds up significantly by the end of the month. I have learned invaluable lessons in leadership, strategy, constructive feedback and communication in general from him and everyone in our organization thinks very highly of him.”

I look forward to what you have to say because you think critically and creatively. You know how to ask the right questions at the right time to bring clarity, but also to make sure the team is challenged or doesn’t lose sight of a different perspective/lens.
I also love the fact that you empower your people, so they are set up for success, while looking for opportunities to use their strengths and passions.”
