👋 ABOUT ME
Ex-Goldman Sachs banker and Venture Capitalist in San Francisco. Hi, if we haven't met I'm Peter! My goal is to to help you get your dream banking job and build a more financially and personally fulfilling career.

Way back at Berkeley, I ended up getting 9 investment banking offers and joined Goldman Sachs in the TMT group in San Francisco. From there I got offers from Carlyle and different VC funds and joined a $2Bn VC Fund on Sand Hill. After pursuing my dream to be a musician in LA and recording my album at Prince's LA Studio, I eventually became a Vice President at a VC Fund in San Francisco. These days I get a lot of fulfillment out of coaching people to go after their dream jobs and build more meaningful careers and lives.
