Glen Petersen

With more than 35 years in business, working in large global businesses and consulting, Glen has a wise head set firmly on experienced shoulders – a good thing to have as Generator Talent’s founder and CEO. He is in demand by clients who value his pragmatic advice and ability to positively influence people and improve business outcomes. He’s worked in great companies like PepsiCo, Lion Nathan & Arnott’s-Campbell and in huge global roles as Head of Human Resources for people like Spark and Fonterra.

He was instrumental in founding the consulting firm that became Generator Talent, along with developing a range of consulting solutions and services for clients across Australia and New Zealand. Glen’s called Australia, Canada, and NZ home in his career, and he holds a Bachelor of Business from Charles Sturt University in Australia. Throughout his career, Glen has held a keen interest in finding and developing great leaders. Glen’s early career in PepsiCo shaped his philosophy on what differentiates an effective leader and the power of presence, positive thinking and effective communication. His career purpose has been to really make a difference – to leave the companies he’s worked for or consulted with in better shape.

Glen’s also a real-life action man who’s represented Australia at Ironman Triathlon World Championships and can often be seen bravely dodging traffic on his racing bike during his commute into our Sydney office, or running in the bush or climbing rocks at weekends. Thankfully, he does have a sense of humour, and four kids to bring him down to earth.
