Peter Purcell has more than 30 years of business and consulting experience focused on helping companies implement fit-for-purpose technology and processes to eliminate unnecessary internal friction, reduce costs, and increase revenue. Peter’s passion for eliminating unnecessary friction within organizations led him to consulting where he worked as a Big Four consulting partner serving the energy industry. As part of giving back, he joined the Board of Boys & Girls Country of Houston, working with students as they graduated from high school and moved on to higher education. He quickly realized students, especially first-generation, do not have a good understanding of how to navigate higher education administrative functions. Thus, he wanted to use his passion for removing friction in businesses to help students navigate the college system.
Peter grew up surrounded by educators and has a keen understanding of the importance of an education. His grandfather and aunt were professors who helped establish strong first-in-family programs to help students successfully navigate college. They were frustrated by friction within the system, which often led to students not completing their degree. If there was a way to connect students to the right function at the right time, much of the friction would be eliminated. The perfect solution? EVAN360!
