With a career spanning over three decades, Peter Petrina is a respected figure in the international staffing (H-2B) space for the hospitality industry, particularly in the private golf and country club sector. Peter discovered his passion for the private club industry while in college and started his career in club management immediately after graduating from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University. His academic background from Cornell laid a strong foundation for his ascent in club management, leading him to become, at age 28, one of the youngest General Managers/COOs in the club industry. In 2001, Peter established Petrina Group International (PGI), a consulting firm specializing in bespoke staffing strategies, which stands out for its unique approach to business growth. PGI never advertises or solicits business; instead, it thrives on reputation, with 100% of its business based on word-of-mouth endorsements. Peter is an expert and a diligent supporter of the H-2B program. His expertise is recognized not only through the success of PGI but also through his contributions to the broader community, including speaking engagements and roundtable discussions on matters relating to H-2B issues. In addition to his bachelor’s degree in hospitality management from The Hotel School at Cornell University, Peter also holds an MBA from Cornell University. Beyond his professional life, Peter’s interest in wildlife photography has taken him all over the world, including, especially, African safaris. His base in Ithaca, NY, anchors him in a community known for its academic excellence and natural beauty, complementing his professional and personal interests.
