About Peter Bruno

I am a curious, empathetic, and competitive leader who thrives in team environments. Throughout my experiences, I have found success in these activities: Collaborating with internal teams to achieve common goals, leveraging data to guide strategic decisions, and acting as a representive of the company to external parties.New situations do not intimidate me. I pride myself on being able to assimilate and quickly become a contributing member of the team. I embrace challenges with a willingness to listen, observe, ask questions, and accept constructive criticism. My proudest professional experience was when I represented Atavus at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. There, I sought out an Ivy League executive and gave our elevator pitch, which ultimately led to a revenue generating partnership.
