10 Truths About Leadership

Pete Luongo's career at The Berry Company spanned more than thirty-three years where he last served as President and CEO. During his last nine years he was instrumental in guiding the billion and a half-dollar yellow page-advertising agency through a period of record sales growth, numerous contract acquisitions, and the perpetuation of the nearly one-hundred-year-old company as an industry leader as well as "a great place to work.” Since retirement, Peter has devoted himself to giving back to his community around health and human services, economic development, and education. He serves as board chair of the Dayton Area United Way, is vice-chair of the Greene Hospital Board, and is a member of the Executive Committee of the Dayton Development Coalition. He joined the University of Dayton's School of Business as an executive-in-resident and teaches strategic planning in the MBA Capstone Program. He also serves as Executive Director of the University's Center for Leadership & Executive Development and is a member of the University's Board of Trustees.
