Bio
Paul Love
In the short time I’ve come to know Pete it has been an absolute pleasure to work with him and I am continually impressed by his hustle, creativity, attitude, and confidence. Pete brings a polished and innovative approach to business development, strategic partnerships, and sales, and a keen ability to see and focus on the big picture every day. You want Pete on your side when it comes to negotiation, as he’s very adept at keeping conversations moving towards the goal in the face of just about any objection. At Verse Pete was responsible for identifying and forming strategic partnerships, and it quickly became apparent that Pete is a doer, able to make things happen on his own quickly and confidently. From his experience in both large companies and startups, he brings an elevated maturity to the team, but at the same time he is humble and understands the importance of seeking assistance when needed, making him a great collaborator and team player. He excels at breaking down complex problems into workable pieces. Perhaps Pete’s most valuable asset is his ability to form and nurture authentic relationships. He has deep connections in the mortgage, real estate, and homebuilding industries, all of which seemed genuinely excited to reconnect with him when he reached out on behalf of Verse. He builds relationships with integrity, thoughtfulness, and lots of personality - creating a memorable and positive impression with everyone he encounters on the job. Pete genuinely cares about people. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and his optimism is boundless, so working with Pete is a true pleasure in every way, and I would highly recommend Pete for any role that requires his powerful mix of skills and experience.

Pete is an excellent relationship builder with a strong focus on win-win with his partners. During our time working together at Homes.com he managed to grow and nurture a variety of high profile and valuable partnerships which generated incremental revenue. Pete's contact at these partners always spoke highly of him and it was obvious they also saw value, many growing from test budgets to over 7 figure relationships. I would recommend Pete for any company that needs a forward thinking partner focused and growth minded leader to add value to their top line revenue.

Pete and I worked closely to build a strategic business partnership over the course of 6 years. Pete and his team built custom digital advertising placements that helped change the way customers shopped for homes, and interacted with real estate agents, mortgage companies and the home search process. Pete’s ability to digest an idea and then implement made our partnership growth possible. Pete would be a great addition to a team focused on ideation and execution.
