Career Philosophy  ·  Tim Peara

I closed an $85M deal because I drank vodka in Turkmenistan. No Zoom call could have done that. The $150M Argentina-to-Chile pipeline closed because I flew to Buenos Aires and presented in Spanish. The EUR140M in European partnerships were built over dinners in London, Paris, and Frankfurt across 18 months. Not a single cold email.

The biggest deals in the world don’t scale. They are closed by one person in one room who did the work to earn the right to be there. Over 20+ years, that principle has produced $250M+ in closed transactions across five continents in four languages.
