About Pete Dignan

Ever Better was founded in 2017 by Pete Dignan. Pete spent nearly 20 years leading two Certified B Corps and a nonprofit. He is a keen observer who asks incisive questions and listens. He applies his experience as a CEO and Executive Director to help teams become more
purposeful, participatory, and adaptive. “Pete is a visionary leader and excellent manager and motivator of people...His sharp mind, decades of experience in leadership and high EQ allow Pete to immediately bring value to any organization.” -- John Powers, VP Renewable Choice Energy “It was a no-brainer to engage Pete given his deep and varied experience as a conscientious and 'teal' leader, positive and calm demeanor and his caring and patient style. Pete’s insight and encouragement have been transformative. Pete is able to uncover excellence and validate high expectations while instilling a more creative and adaptable style of leadership. I wholeheartedly recommend Pete.” -- Jason Wiener, Jason Wiener PC |

Ever Better became a Certified B Corporation in May 2018. B Corps are a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. B Corp certification is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to milk. Ever Better was certified by the non-profit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
