We have grown by building strong, trusted partnerships with our customers, and by delivering outstanding processing capacity, flexibility and innovation to meet their needs. We help them manage commodity risk in an increasingly volatile environment and are leaders in advancing sustainable cocoa farming. It’s truly a privilege for me to lead the Blommer team in building on this outstanding record of success.”

He was named COO in 2003, with responsibility for driving the development and implementation of the company’s strategic plan, improving manufacturing efficiency and effectiveness, and strengthening relationships with key customers and vendors.
Prior to joining Blommer, Peter worked in investment banking and, later, in strategic planning and business analysis for the Dole Food Co. He received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
