“Pat Petersen is a consummate leader, teacher and a great friend,” said Carol Tintle, SVP and regional manager at DGSIR, who has worked with Pat since the 1970s. “You don’t work for Pat Petersen, but with her, and she makes it fun.
“She is a forward thinker and risk taker who charms every audience, from sales professionals to top executives with her wit, wisdom and vision. It is these qualities that have brought her to where she is — at the top of her profession.”
Following a successful career in public relations, Peterson joined Daniel Gale in 1974 when it had just two offices. She quickly became a top-producing agent and soon took on management roles of increasing responsibility as the organization grew. She was named president and CEO in 1991.
