Bio
Sebastian Chrzaszcz
Working under Pete has been one of the most rewarding learning experiences for my career thus far. As the Head of US Sales, Pete developed and managed some of the largest clients for Ansarada while also being a coach, mentor and trusted leader. His ability to create a culture where team members build off each other is contagious and vital for any high-growth company. From a client’s perspective, Pete really takes the time to understand each business, their story and where they want to go. This makes a client often times look at Pete as an extension of their own team. I know Pete will continue to create value for any organization he’s a part of.
Chris Buehrle
I worked with Pete for a number of years both in a sales role and while he was a manager. Pete brings his best every day he walks through the door. As a rep, Pete knows how to grow and nurture his relationships with his clients. From the most junior individuals up to the highest C-level individuals, Pete always knew what was going on with his clients. As a manager, Pete has a natural ability to lead and drive people to perform at their best. He was always willing to roll up his sleeves to help bring in a deal and teach along the way. I can attribute the success that the US team had directly to the way that Pete coached and lead our team.
