"I highly recommend working with Peter Nelson. We engaged Peter to help us fill a newly created CFO position, and his approach was outstanding. Peter works with a strong sense of urgency and immediately got to work once we engaged him. He recommended a process that aligned perfectly with our need to find the right leader quickly, while ensuring a thorough and thoughtful search. Peter took the time to truly understand our business, meeting with leadership and key employees to grasp our culture and what would make a strong cultural fit for the role. Throughout the process, communication was transparent and direct, which was critical, especially during salary negotiations. This openness was key in successfully securing the candidate we wanted for the role.Peter’s expertise and commitment made a significant difference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again." ​

"Peter did an amazing job helping me secure the perfect CFO role. He took the time to understand my career aspirations and had a deep understanding of the company's challenges, particularly in their goal of selling to Private Equity. The open communication throughout the process, including during negotiations, led to a quick and successful outcome, where both parties experienced a true 'win.'" ​

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Peter Nelson and PeakPitch on several talent searches over the years, and I consider Peter to be a trusted advisor and an invaluable resource in identifying the right talent for our needs. He consistently takes the time to truly understand our business, which is critical in ensuring a good fit. His long-term perspective and consultative approach have been instrumental in the build-out of several high-performing teams. Peter's commitment to finding the right candidates coupled with his thorough understanding of our industry has made him an essential part of our recruitment strategy."​

"I’ve worked with Peter over the years and highly recommend Peter and PeakPitch. I’ve engaged Peter’s services for two companies—one Private Equity-backed and the other a privately held firm. He takes a deep dive to fully understand the company, its industry, the department structure, and the organization’s culture. Peter operates with a strong sense of urgency and communicates with complete transparency throughout the process. With extensive experience across various industries and a deep understanding of financial leadership, he excels at placing the right talent. “
