With four decades of experience in the business of energy—from oil and gas to renewables—Peter Tertzakian is a respected industry leader. He’s frequently called on to share his knowledge of macroeconomic, geopolitical and business issues with investors, corporate leaders, and policymakers.

In his most recent venture, Peter founded Studio.Energy, a next generation think tank working at the intersection of energy, policy, and economics. The studio has developed a real-time business intelligence platform that manufactures timely, trusted knowledge for leaders making big decisions in an unpredictable world.

In addition to analytics, Peter uses creative stories, personal photographs, digital art, and his collection of energy ephemera. His work distils, clarifies, and communicates complicated issues regarding energy, economics, and the environment in a uniquely imaginative way. His presentations spark and guide important discussions on some of today’s most critical topics.

Peter is also well known for the popular podcast ARC Energy Ideas, which he cohosts with Jackie Forrest. Together, they explore the trends that influence the energy business, including financial, political, environmental, technological, social, and economic forces.

A graduate of MIT’s Sloan School of Management, Peter has published three books: A Thousand Barrels a Second and The End of Energy Obesity—both international bestsellers—and his latest book, The Investor Visit and Other Stories: Disruption, Denial and Transition in the Energy Business. He also curates The Art of Energy at the Peter Tertzakian Gallery in Canmore and sits on the Board of the National Gallery Foundation.
