Unlike many strategy authors from universities and consulting firms, Compo’s professional experience was spent working in the “corporate trenches.” After musical training, a BA in Biology, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering (City College New York), he joined E. I. DuPont as a research scientist. He held leadership positions in R&D, product management, marketing, supply chain, and business management and was the corporate lead for integrated business planning. He left DuPont after 25 years to work full time on research on adaptive systems and developing the Emergent Approach.
Compo comes from a multi-generational family of musicians in the New York City metropolitan area, where he was born and raised. He currently lives in Arden, Delaware. Learn more about Peter Compo’s work and the Emergent Approach to Strategy on these sites:
