Peter Kelso embodies a rare and contagious brand of optimism that permeates every aspect of his professional demeanor. 

As the VP of Agency Partnerships at FullThrottle.ai, Peter's upbeat and positive approach is not just a personal trait but a strategic tool he leverages to enhance business relationships and customer experiences. His belief in the power of positivity is deeply ingrained, influenced by his parents and refined through personal development over the years. In every interaction, whether on LinkedIn with his positive vibes posts or in high-stakes business meetings, Peter’s optimism acts as a catalyst for reducing friction and fostering a collaborative atmosphere, proving that a sunny outlook can indeed translate to tangible business success.

Peter’s philosophy of positivity not only challenges the prevalent pessimism in the auto industry but also serves as a beacon for better business practices. It perfectly aligns with what we like to say around ASOTU: "Love people more than you love cars."
