Peter O’Connor

President and Co Founder

Educated in Economics and Art History at Vassar and the Sorbonne, Peter began his career as a gallery curator. He established himself in the placement industry in 1988 and has been a principal at Kennison & Associates since 1995. Peter became the President of Kennison in 2013. “Intelligent, effective placements are a matter of experience and intuition about clients’ needs and applicants’ strengths. Employers don’t have the time or resources to compromise on a hire. At Kennison, we take the time to get to know our individual applicants and to ask important questions: What do they want? Where do they want to be in the next few years? By cultivating in-depth knowledge of both our candidates and clients, and by focusing on the ‘cultural’ match between the two, we take the guesswork out of the hiring process.”
