Peter is Segment's co-founder and CEO. He studied Aerospace Engineering at MIT and fell into the world of customer data and analysis when he and three of his college friends started Segment in 2011 as part of YC. Prior to starting Segment, Peter was a Research Assistant at the Naval Postgraduate School, where he wrote and designed flight software for the NPS-SCAT Cubesat, a platform which tests solar cells while they're in orbit. Whether it's thorium reactors, online education, or space travel, Peter enjoys nothing more than diving deep into a new field of study. He and his wife Erika live in San Francisco.
