PETER L. ALLEN, Ph.D.
I am a strategic business leader with deep roots in both academia and business.
Working through relationships, ideas, communication, thought leadership, and teaching, I build functions, turn ideas into reality, and help people and organizations develop and grow.
Educated at the University of Chicago and Wharton, I've worked at McKinsey, Google, and the Priceline-Booking Holdings Group, where I’ve been the VP for People and the VP for Public Affairs at Agoda.com, the Group’s Asia-based subsidiary.
I write, teach, and advise individuals and organizations about learning and growth.
Advisory Services
I can help your organization develop strategic, practical, and innovative solutions to people-based business problems so that you can grow fast and well.
Teaching
My teaching experience spans a variety of disciplines, from business to global affairs to the humanities, from undergraduates to executive M.B.A. students.
Coaching
Learning and growing are as important for individual executives as they are for organizations. I can help you expand your horizons, develop as you transition between roles, work through difficult situations, and navigate skilfully through relationships with your team.
Writing
My writing has appeared in publications ranging from the McKinsey Quarterly to the University of Chicago Press to Business Korea and Knowledge@Wharton.
Boards and Community Service
Throughout my career, I have been involved in community service organizations and served on both non-profit and for-profit organization boards.
