Peter Hawes

Consultant, editor, writer, art director, project manager and publisher specializing in storytelling for businesses, families, individuals, universities and nonprofits. Deep experience in corporate, marketing and employee communications; executive speech writing; and publication of business, executive and family history books and related media.

Trained in print and broadcast experience, I started my career as on-air radio news announcer and reporter for public and commercial stations in New York and Connecticut before joining The Associated Press as a reporter, editor and bureau manager. I held senior positions in corporate and executive communications at Xerox Corporation until setting up my own consultancy in 1993. Working for a boutique publishing firm, I edited, wrote, art-directed and/or oversaw the production of more than 40 business, individual and family history books—the clients ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to mid-sized family business and individual entrepreneurs in virtually every major industry.

Bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from Syracuse University plus an economic seminar for business writers at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
