Brian Peterson

As Founder and Managing Partner, Brian leads all operational and strategic activities of the firm while heading up the firm's Building Products and Consumer Markets practice.  Over nearly 15 years, Brian has led hundreds of unique executive level search projects for organizations of all sizes from PE-backed startups to fortune 100 global enterprises.  Starting his career with one of the largest search firms in the United States, he elevated to the number-one producing lead recruiter in the country while guiding and mentoring a team of around 20 associate recruiters.

Brian was then hired into a top 15 Minneapolis-based executive search firm where he was the top biller, successfully executing retained search assignments for VP and Chief level hiring executives at companies across varied industry verticals including building materials, retail, manufacturing, and consulting.

Since launching Cultura Solutions in 2016, Brian has engaged with some of the foremost Minnesota-based Building Product and Specialty Retail organizations in helping to define and execute leadership hiring initiatives, all while supporting the continued development of the firm's staff and investing in the continued innovation of the firm's differentiating assets.

Having experienced the downfalls of the search industry, Brian is on a mission to maintain Cultura Solutions' reputation as the most trusted search partner in the business.
