About Us

People

The success of Level Platforms is based on the extraordinary efforts of a team of extraordinary people working together to help define the future of managed services.  We share the belief that long-term strategic success as a business is only achieved by the cumulative results of individual actions taken each day.  Above all our highest priority is to listen to our partners and to strive to deliver an extraordinary experience in every interaction they have with our products and our people.  Every Level Platforms employee is a shareholder and participates in the long-term growth and success that flows from making our partners successful.

Although there are many people that contribute to the leadership of the organization, accountability for Strategy, Products and Partners ultimately rests with the executive team.  We encourage anyone to contact them directly with any comments, concerns, suggestions or proposals that could help us provide a better experience for our partners.

 – Founder and CEO
Peter’s goal is to establish Level Platforms as the long term leader in the global managed services revolution made possible by next generation remote monitoring and management technologies. Peter has led teams that delivered market-changing product and market innovation throughout his 30 year plus career.  As President and Vice Chairman of SHL Systemhouse Inc. for nine years, he led their growth from $35 million to over $1 billion in revenues as a global outsourcing pioneer to global enterprises, ranking number 43 on the VAR Business 500 before its acquisition by MCI and eventually EDS in the late 1990s.  Peter founded Level Platforms in 1999 convinced that small businesses needed a “level platform” to deliver IT with the same quality and cost as that achieved by larger enterprises and has led its growth to achieve this ultimate objective.
