Pete Gerend

Managing Director

As a team leader, Pete creates and directs educational programs that help clients stay rigorously focused on strategic outcomes. He is also Adjunct Faculty at Duke University, where he teaches in the Psychology & Neuroscience Department as well as the Management & Markets program.

A teacher, facilitator, and consultant, Pete is particularly intrigued by the intersection of economics, politics, and psychology.  His teaching in leadership, strategy translation and team effectiveness has given him an opportunity to work with Fortune Global 200 companies across the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia.  His recent clients include Microsoft, Medtronic, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Rolls-Royce, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Before coming to Duke CE, Pete consulted and developed novel healthcare programs for the uninsured at the Hudson Institute. His work across a variety of sectors has given him a deep insight into the ways in which the regulatory environment, technical challenges and business pressure combine to push organizations to seek solutions in their people.  As a result of this experience,
Pete’s work focuses on helping executives build leadership tactics which enable them to cut through ambiguity to drive the performance of their teams.

Pete holds an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and a B.S. in Chemistry and Political Science from Butler University.
