Peter J. Boni

Survived Vietnam as a Special Operations Infantry Officer. Advanced to VP of Fortune 500 firm and discovered it was a lousy job for me.

Became high tech CEO for a half dozen firms (public, private, IPO) in various stages of growth, maturity, trouble and renewal; an Operating Partner in private equity; then CEO of a Safeguard Scientifics, a NYSE-listed (SFE) venture capital firm that was on the ropes due to its failed attempt to recoup from the internet bubble.

After the hugely successful repositioning of Safeguard, I retired and formed
Kedgeway LLC as a platform to consult, write, speak, teach, invest, direct my philanthropy and sit on a board or two.

My book, ALL HANDS ON DECK:Navigating Your Team Through Crises, Getting Your Organization Unstuck, and Emerging Victorious, was released by my publisher, Career Press, in June 2015. It's performing in the top 10% of its category.

I'm donating book proceeds to a three-decades old global non-profit, the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (www.nfte.com). I was named NFTE Chairman in January 2016 and Chairman Emeritus in 2020.

I can be found seasonally on Cape Cod, sailing my sloop, BluBird. In the off-season, my wife of many years and I have become bi-coastal to visit our two NY-based grandsons and a San Francisco-based granddaughter.

Life has, indeed, been good.
