Pete Tsudis is a Managing Director at MTA Advisory Partners, where he advises business owners through strategic transactions and ownership transitions.


Pete began his career in middle-market lending at PNC Bank, where he advised companies on financial strategy and operational improvement. In 2001, he acquired a small chocolate contract manufacturing business and spent the next two decades growing it into one of the largest contract manufacturers of nutrition bars, chocolate, and baked goods in the United States.
