Peter Deragon

In his current role as Managing Director of Stanton Chase Los Angeles, and as Global Practice Leader of the Supply Chain, Logistics, and Transportation Practice Group, Pete is also active in the CFO Practice Group and financial services, where he started his career.

Pete leads a diverse team of executive search consultants with senior-level experience in executive search assignments across the entire economy, including government, higher education, and not-for-profit organizations. We provide positive impact to corporate boards who are increasingly focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion as they pursue the best available talent. Complementary to executive search, our offices provide a variety of executive assessment tools, leadership consulting, and data-rich compensation reports for our clients.

Pete has 30-plus years of experience as a trusted adviser and manager in business-to-business environments. Based on a career begun in financial services that evolved into institutional sales, capital markets, and then executive search, Pete has called on hundreds of companies and organizations throughout the West. He has called many cities in California “home base,” moving to California as a youngster, namely San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, and Los Angeles. Now leading Stanton Chase’s executive search initiatives in California, our team serves public and private companies and public agencies across nine industry groups.

Our global collaboration ensures that our clients benefit from broad marketplace and domain knowledge, subject matter expertise, and vital executive connections. We apply proven processes to complete challenging executive search assignments. Pete has completed hundreds of senior assignments, and his technical expertise, solid support team, and high energy result in expeditious hires and repeat business.

Pete grew up in Southern California and earned a degree in political science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Pete supports charitable organizations, especially those focused on ocean stewardship. When he is not pounding on a keyboard, meeting with his team, or communicating with clients and candidates, he can be found at the beach or racing motorcycles on one of California’s famous tracks.
