Larry Peterson
LP Consulting Group Manager
Larry received his Bachelor and Master Degrees in Engineering
from Utah State University and earned an MBA from University of Nevada Las
Vegas. He is active in
professional and civic organizations, most recently serving as President of the
Planning and Design Division of the American Road and Transportation
Builders Association (ARTBA) and is an ARTBA Board member.
Mr. Peterson is based in Boise, Idaho and has worked in the consulting engineering
industry for 35 years. His
progressively more responsible roles include staff engineer, senior
engineer, project manager, office manager, division manager, Corporate Director
of Sales & Marketing, and recently was National Transportation Market
Manager for Kleinfelder – an ENR top 50 firm.
Larry Peterson began his 25-year career at Kleinfelder as a senior
engineer and quickly became the Las Vegas office manager. As office manager he assembled a
talented management team and via a focused and disciplined marketing approach
transformed a marginally successful office staff of 15 into a highly successful
office staff of 105 - all within two years - consistently generating greater than 30%
profit at the office level.
Larry's success in turning around the Las Vegas office
with a
focused marketing approach resulted in him spending more than half his
career
at Kleinfelder in predominately business development/marketing roles
such as Infrastructure Program Manager, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO),
and Transportation
Market Manager.
As CMO, Larry
envisioned and subsequently directed the
development and implementation of a company-wide marketing/sales
system to bring consistency to that function across all offices. He also
created the employee training program that allowed for the smooth
integration and execution of the program.
It was Larry's passion for business development, after retirement from Kleinfelder, that drove him to establish LP Consulting
Group - to assist other firms with solving
marketing/business development challenges.
