Teaching

Peter is a Special Lecturer on impact investing at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business (2024– ) and conducts workshops and advises students on impact investing at Harvard Kennedy School (2025– ). He was formerly a Gabelli Fellow at Fordham University, where he taught impact investing (2018–2024) and helped launch and direct strategy for the Responsible Business Center (2022–25), and was Executive in Residence at the Gabelli School of Business (2018–19). At Yale School of Management and Yale University he advised student-managed funds and was a Special Lecturer on impact investing and investment research (2016–19).

Non-profit leadership

Peter was CEO of Net Impact (2019–22), a non-profit more than 30 years old with a network of over 160,000 members and a mission to inspire, equip and activate emerging leaders to make a positive impact for people and planet. He was also CEO of GOOD Institute (2021–2022), and a Board Member of Investors Circle, an historic impact angel investing organization (2024–26).

Investing career

In 2009 Peter founded Tiburon Capital Management, a registered investment advisor and event-driven fund manager, serving as Chief Investment Officer and Co-Portfolio Manager from 2009 to 2017. On its sale to a pension consultant in 2012, he became CIO of the acquirer, with purview over deployment of $12 billion under advisement.

He was previously a Managing Director at Millennium Management, the New York multi-strategy hedge fund, where he managed an allocation of the Millennium Partners flagship fund using event-driven strategies, and before that Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager of the Robeco WPG Distressed and Event-Driven Funds.

His experience in deep value equity and distressed investing began in 1990, working with Marty Whitman of Third Avenue Funds. That bottom-up approach, and the view of risk he formed with Izzy Englander at Millennium, shaped his ‘BRACE’ investment methodology. Funds he has managed or co-managed have been recognized as GAIM’s Top Performing Emerging Distressed Manager and MARHedge’s Event-Driven Manager, and nominated by Institutional Investor as Hedge Fund House of the Year.

Recognition and commitments

In November 2023 Peter was selected a Global Impact Leader by Sorenson Impact Institute. He became a Dean’s Council Member at the Harvard Kennedy School in February 2025 and is a Member of the Impact Investing & Sustainable Finance Faculty Consortium.

Under his guidance, LSFO is a signatory to DivestInvest, The Belonging Pledge and Freedom to Invest.

Advisory and writing

Peter is a regular discussant on academic papers for, and a consultant to, the Federal Reserve Bank on market shocks and liquidity. He is an outside director of various unaffiliated investment entities and consults family offices and heirs, hedge funds and other institutional asset managers on investment policy, legacy, responsible investing and conflicts.

He writes on investment, markets and his academic topics, including a monthly article on impact investing, climate and social justice for Trellis, and publishes on Substack.
