Andrew Peek’s Summary
A few truths I subscribe to...
- Successful business leaders surround themselves with people smarter than they are, challenge the notion that you should never re-invent the wheel, and sacrifice to leave the world in better shape than when they arrived.
- Conversations will continue to happen. Markets will continue to be challenged. People will continue to change their minds - with or without a company's permission. I pride myself on helping remarkable companies take the necessary risks to turn their ideas into best practices.
- Experience is practically currency, and when you consider the bigger picture, is worth far more.

Andrew Peek’s Experience
-
Director of Better Business
FreshBooks
(Privately Held; Computer Software industry)
October 2008 — Present (10 months)
What the heck do you write about a girl who makes you stupid giddy and who you want to call every hour to see what she's doing now?
That's how I feel about FreshBooks.
Oh... and we do online invoicing in a really awesome way. -
Coop Management, Program Consultant
University of Toronto
(Educational Institution; 10,001 or more employees; Higher Education industry)
May 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)
The University of Toronto Scarborough is home to some of Canada's top future business talents. I am responsible for helping Coop Management students professionally develop their skills in order to ensure strong U of T representation in organizations around the world. On several occasions I have also had the privilege to guest lecture on topics pertaining to Technology, New Media & Marketing, and Entrepreneurship.

Board of Advisors
Daily Challenge
(Internet industry)
January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)
Daily Challenge is a social network for "do gooders". The idea is that a whole lot of random (and small) acts of kindness, when organized together - can change the world. Pretty nifty, I'd say.
-
Sr. Product Manager
MindMuze
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
October 2007 — October 2008 (1 year 1 month)
MindMuze is an innovative eLearning company that partners with global thinkers to delivery world class intellectual property. Subsidiary of B Wyze Holdings (ranked consecutively -5 years running- on PROFIT magazine’s list of "Emerging Growth Companies", and recognized twice on the Branham300), MindMuze is a thought leader and trailblazer in corporate education.
-
Managing Partner
FieldLevel Innovations
(Management Consulting industry)
October 2004 — April 2007 (2 years 7 months)
As a consultant and partner, I had the good fortune of leading one of the priority campaigns for a political party during an election, building a customer experience strategy for MLB executives, and pitching a brand platform to senior-level folks at a large telecommunications company.
Where we really got our hands dirty, was in the development of The Fireplace Shop Ltd.'s (40+ year retail operation) service and installation business. They now consult nationally on their operational processes and efficiencies. We continue to help out where we can.
Fun one for me to remember... FieldLevel launched and sold an oversized beanbag company - definitely one of my favourite stories. -
Sales Associate
Microsoft Canada
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; MSFT; Computer Software industry)
January 2004 — April 2004 (4 months)
Marketed to the Microsoft Certified Partners channel. Co-piloted the 'Channel Builder Program,' a national award-winning marketing initiative.
Regular columnist for Microsoft's SmallBiz Forum.
