Peter is an executive advisor, consultant and facilitator who happily lives and breathes sales strategy and customer experience. With a razor-sharp focus on making sales teams more effective, he combines his creativity, collaborative style, and a relentless drive for results. Prior to Portage he held VP roles in sales, marketing, and product innovation at the likes of LoyaltyOne, Epsilon, The Toronto Region Board of Trade, and Engage People. When he’s not exploring new sales strategies, he’s taking in the great outdoors. “Life is truly an adventure, and I don’t want to miss a minute of it.”

With more than 20 years of sales experience under her belt, Anneisa is a guru when it comes to transforming complex needs and processes into structure and order, so that abstract challenges become clear, achievable milestones. She has an exceptional talent for creating momentum among sales, customer success, and enablement teams, helping them bridge differences and reach common goals. When she’s not driving change for clients, she’s probably indulging her passion for reading or sunset boat rides at her cottage. “When people genuinely want to achieve the same goal, they can overcome the most daunting obstacles.”
