About Me: As President and CEO of Tyton Bio, Peter leads the company in providing technology solutions to businesses that aim to protect the environment while also delivering value for its stakeholders.

Since co-founding the company in 2010, he has helped cultivate and grow a world-class team to develop and expand the reach of Tyton’s services and technology. Under his leadership, Tyton Bio expanded upon its capabilities in producing biofuels and green chemicals from tobacco to address a growing list of challenges in seemingly unrelated industries, like recycling and paper production.

Before Windmill, Peter worked as an independent consultant facilitating post-war construction in Iraq. Peter was a US Naval Officer for nearly six years, with numerous distinguished posts on warships, in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, and spent significant time in Iraq on behalf of special task forces and working groups established by the Secretary of Defense and Coalition Provisional Authority.
