Lovett C. Peters is Pioneer's Founding Chairman. With a grand vision, but only a skeleton staff, "Pete" began Pioneer in 1988. Since then, it has grown steadily, along with its influence. Before founding Pioneer, Pete had a long, successful business career, which included executive positions at Energy Ventures, Conoco and Bankers Trust. He is a recipient of the Roe Award from the State Policy Network and, along with his wife, Ruth Stott Peters, the Champions of Freedom Award from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. He is a member of the Mont Pelerin Society and a trustee of Hillsdale College. A 1936 graduate of Yale, Pete also holds an honorary degree from Nichols College.
