Speaker on Abundant Leadership in the Age of Disruption

With over 25 years of entrepreneurial experience - including founding the first SaaS platform for enterprise contingent labor - Peter has consistently been at the forefront of innovation. His companies have earned national recognition, including the Inc. 500, and served global clients across sectors.
