Peter Sims is a best-selling author, investor, and the Founder & Chairman of BLK SHP (Black Sheep), Inc., a place and platform for making small bets and building new ventures. He has also been a senior advisor at Google[x], The Moonshot Factory, Alphabet’s semi-secret innovation laboratory. After working as an investor in venture capital with Summit Partners in London where he co-founded the firm’s European office, Sims became an accidental author, as the co-author of True North, the best-seller that has been selected as one of the top 25 leadership books of all-time. After that, he stumbled into Stanford’s Institute of Design and learned product design and design thinking, an experience that helped Peter view himself as a creative for the first time, so he dedicated himself to writing his second book, Little Bets, for all those with untapped creativity. A top resource for innovators, it was selected as one of the six best advice books for entrepreneurs by the Wall Street Journal. Previously, he co-founded FUSE corps and was part of the initial team of collaborators that started Giving Tuesday, the global philanthropic movement that has raised over $10 billion in more than 100 countries for social good causes.
