Leadership biographies and experience

Two disciplines. One enablement-first operating philosophy.

TechEdEco’s leadership combines enterprise Business Relationship Management, operational and technology experience with educational expertise centered on how people understand, practice, retain, and sustain new capabilities.

Chief Executive Officer · Principal Educational Advisor

Laura Peters

Co-founder, executive steward, and educational advisor focused on making understanding, adoption, and independence part of every solution.

Laura Peters

Chief Executive Officer and Principal Educational Advisor

Laura provides executive stewardship for TechEdEco’s direction, client experience, engagement quality, and commitment to accepting work only when it can be supported with the attention it deserves.

She brings nearly three decades of educational experience grounded in meeting learners where they are, building practical curriculum, and creating the conditions for measurable growth. She helps ensure complex strategies and recommendations become clear context, structured learning, and usable guidance clients can sustain independently.

Educational experience and impact

Education is a managed discipline—regardless of the learner’s age or setting.

Effective learning requires intentional structure, active engagement, feedback, practice, reinforcement, and a clear way to demonstrate that understanding has been retained and can be applied.

Learner-centered design

Meeting learners where they are

Laura begins with the learner’s current understanding, confidence, needs, and barriers, then structures achievable progress without lowering the expected outcome.

Measured achievement

Turning underperformance into demonstrated success

In one school year, Laura moved an entire underperforming class to exceeding expectations as measured through national and state standards-based testing.

Curriculum and content

Designing for understanding, use, and retention

Laura advises on educational content and structure across audiences, evaluating whether materials reflect practical learning principles, different learning styles, clear conveyance, and retention.

Inclusive learning

Removing barriers without reducing expectations

Her extensive work with special-needs students strengthens TechEdEco’s focus on accessibility, clarity, pacing, and multiple paths to understanding.

Corporate transfer

Applying proven learning foundations to organizations

The foundations transfer directly: present, engage, gather feedback, practice, reinforce, and test whether knowledge can be recalled and applied without continued dependence.

Why educational leadership matters: a technically sound recommendation creates little lasting value when the organization does not understand it, cannot communicate it, or is not prepared to operate it.

Chief Operations Officer · Principal Technology Advisor

Scott Peters

Co-founder and advisor whose perspective was shaped inside complex operational, technology, partnering, integration, and security environments.

Scott Peters

Chief Operations Officer and Principal Technology Advisor

Scott brings nearly three decades of experience working inside complex enterprise environments across operations, software delivery, business relationship management, technology integration, cybersecurity, compliance, and organizational improvement.

Before co-founding TechEdEco, he built his career in the kinds of environments the firm now advises—where performance, technology, governance, risk, and business outcomes must remain connected.

BAS
Technical Project Management

Applied planning, delivery, stakeholder alignment, and execution discipline.

BS
Environmental Science

Systems thinking, evidence-based analysis, sustainability, and interconnected outcomes.

MBA
Information Technology Leadership

Business strategy, technology leadership, organizational decision-making, and value alignment.

Career experience before TechEdEco

Experience shaped from inside the work—not solely from advising around it.

That background helps TechEdEco evaluate not only what a framework recommends, but what an organization will realistically need to understand, adopt, execute, and sustain.

Operational performance

Improving performance and reducing process waste

Worked within operational environments to develop and refine solutions that improved performance, reduced unnecessary process effort, and better aligned execution with business outcomes.

Application modernization

Leading software and application delivery teams

Managed Software Engineering and Application Development teams through the complete redesign and replacement of core business applications.

Enterprise partnering

Supporting digital transformation as a senior BRM

Served as a Senior Business Relationship Manager in a highly complex aerospace environment, supporting major capability refinements within a broader digital transformation.

M&A integration

Guiding IT services through acquisition lifecycles

Led technology services through merger and acquisition activity, including application rationalization, redundancy reduction, portfolio clarity, and licensing consolidation.

Security and compliance

Architecting security and compliance enablement

Worked as Lead Security and Compliance Architect for a large U.S.-based multinational e-commerce platform, connecting control expectations, technical realities, evidence, governance, and business operations.

Why the combination matters: effective advisory work requires more than knowledge of a standard or framework. It requires connecting specialized requirements to broader organizational outcomes and helping internal teams make informed decisions they can sustain.

Experience matters. So does honest alignment to the engagement.

TechEdEco evaluates every prospective engagement for expertise fit, capacity, participation, timing, and the level of attention the client should expect.
