• How do I go about acquiring and developing that competency?

Pete is an independent consultant, coach, and social entrepreneur operating under the name “GINKGO Enterprises.” He also partners with other consulting firms on projects. 

He is known for his ability to see the big picture, make sense of messes, and lead teams through the resolution of complex issues.  He relates well to people from all stations of life, speaks frankly, and has a practical eye for getting things done.

Pete’s consulting and coaching practice focuses on driving the creation of tangible value by building and leveraging interlocking webs of intangible assets.  These intangible assets include the discovery, innovation, and new product development processes, organizational structure and processes, human resource practices, information technology systems and practices, branding and marketing strategy, leadership brand, and organizational culture.   These intangible assets can be designed as foundations for and infrastructure to the development of high performing organizations and value chains.
