About Peter
Peter Sims is the author of Little Bets (forthcoming from Simon & Schuster: Free Press, 2011) which explores how small bets combined with a creative process lead to great outcomes. He was coauthor with Bill George of True North, the Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek best-selling book that The New York Times called “one of the most important books on leadership to come along in years.” His work has appeared in Harvard Business Review, Fortune, and USA Today and he has spoken at and advised organizations such as Eli Lilly, Molson Coors, Current TV, Qualcomm, and Frost & Sullivan.
Previously, Peter was also part of establishing and building the European Office of Summit Partners, a global investment company. He received an A.B., magna cum laude, from Bowdoin College and an M.B.A. from Stanford. He lives in San Francisco and his great-great-great grandfather, Jacob Gundlach, founded Gundlach Bundschu in Sonoma, California’s oldest family-owned winery, run today by his cousins who, unlike Peter, actually know something about wine.
