Peter von Euen
Peter von Euen has seen the world. Not by watching Travel Channel or reading National Geographic. No, he's seen the world the way it's meant to be seen-with his own eyes. It all started with a trip he took just after graduating college. Seeking worldly knowledge to complement his degree, Peter hopped on a plane bound for London. There he walked into a motorcycle shop, paid cash for his dream bike, and then rode it out of the showroom, past Big Ben and onto the open road. In the months to come, he'd cross most of Europe and North Africa. He'd venture as far south as Western Sahara, and as far north as Nordkapp, well above the Arctic Circle. He'd meet people of dozens of races and nationalities. He'd "kiss the Blarney Stone' ...suffer frostbite ...and hitchhike alone from Marrakesh to Frankfurt. The trip was everything Peter had hoped it would be. Not only did it leave him wiser and with "a thousand storied memories," it inspired a lifetime of world travel and adventure.
It's no surprise that Peter brings a practical, real world approach to business consulting. For more than 20 years, he's applied his unique sense of curiosity, exploration and global thinking toward finding real solutions. He's a "go to guy" with a solid track record of leading change and delivering global business transformation across multiple industries, including high tech, manufacturing, oil and gas, and telecommunications. He's helped clients start up new businesses, as well as overhaul their operations and deploy new technologies. Peter has done everything from completely redesign the support processes of a major high tech electronics consumer products company to leading IT design for a global nonprofit organization helping underserved populations in Africa, Central America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.
When he's not helping his clients realize change with positive results, Peter enjoys family time with his wife and three boys at his quiet home in rural Oregon. He sold his motorcycle years ago when he became a father, thinking it was the responsible thing to do. Now that his kids have grown and are becoming young men, Peter admits he's rekindled his desire to ride. He hopes to pick up another "big bike" in a year or two, which probably means another big ride isn't too far behind.
