Founder at 155 Strategies – During two decades of communications leadership in Washington, Pete has served in senior roles at The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), and The Fratelli Group.
A few years ago, I had the rare privilege of attending a routine but exceptional meeting in an office at a major U.S. passenger airline. It featured representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration, the pilots’ union and senior management of the airline.
Over the years I have worked closely with a number of outstanding leaders – many of whom were sterling communicators. Some were former military officers who exchanged uniform for suit. Others were lifelong academics who carried the air of professorship into all of their work. And others were natural politicians who rose through the ranks of their profession.
