Experienced Operating Leadership, Built for Moments That Matter
Founder and Principal
PK Growth Partners was founded to meet a specific need: experienced, hands-on operating leadership for organizations navigating growth, transition, or transformation — without adding a permanent executive.
The firm is led by Peter Kaye, a senior operating leader who brings a rare combination of big-company operating discipline and entrepreneurial leadership — grounding his work in best practices developed inside large, global organizations, and applying them pragmatically in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments.
Providing interim or fractional CEO, CMO, or Chief Growth Officer (CGO) roles for mission-driven organizations, the firm’s work spans for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, particularly those navigating growth, change, or moments of complexity. Peter works directly with leadership teams, boards, and investors, bringing clarity and execution to high-stakes moments, with accountability for decisions, outcomes, and momentum.
PK Growth Partners is not a traditional consulting firm or agency — we are engaged to lead, decide, and execute.
If you’re navigating a moment of inflection and need experienced operating leadership, we welcome the conversation.
A Player-Coach Operating Model
PK Growth Partners operates as a player-coach — embedded with teams, accountable for outcomes, and actively involved in execution.
Rather than advising from the sidelines, Peter works alongside leadership teams to:
Clarify priorities and growth strategy
Lead go-to-market and revenue acceleration
Strengthen leadership teams and operating cadence
Align organizations during periods of change
Drive execution when results matter most
Engagements often take the form of interim or fractional CEO, CMO, or CGO roles, as well as custom operating projects tied to inflection points.
Grounded in Big-Company Rigor, Proven in Entrepreneurial Environments
Peter’s background blends:
Entrepreneurial operating leadership, including roles at Honest Tea, Newman’s Own, the No Kid Hungry campaign, and NuTek Natural Ingredients.
Big-company discipline, shaped early in his career at Coca-Cola, Diageo, Danone, and Nestlé.
This combination allows PK Growth Partners to move quickly while maintaining the strategic rigor, operating discipline, and governance awareness expected by boards and investors.
A Flexible, Trusted Bench
While Peter leads all engagements, PK Growth Partners draws on a trusted network of experienced operators, specialists, and boutique partners as needed — allowing teams to scale capability efficiently without unnecessary overhead.
This model provides:
Interim operating leadership where it matters most
Fractional executive roles to strengthen existing teams
Specialized expertise when required
Flexibility as needs evolve
