Peter L. Snyder

Pete has over 30 years of public relations agency experience, with a particular emphasis on strategic planning, issues management, crisis counseling and corporate public relations.
Pete began his career in New York at an agency that specialized in agricultural and industrial PR. He then joined the financial relations department of Ruder & Finn.

In 1980, Pete moved to St. Louis to open an office for Dorf/MJH later called Dorf & Stanton. A partner in D&S, Pete held progressively more responsible positions through the agency’s acquisition by Shandwick in 1989, at which point he was named chief operating officer. He played an integral role in organizing offices in Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.

In January 1995, Pete was named president of D&S and worked with other executives to unify the agency’s holdings under the Shandwick banner. In May 1996, he was named president of Miller/Shandwick Technologies, leading that agency through record growth, including expansion in the U.S. and Europe and into Asia. In August 1997, he added the responsibilities of president of Shandwick, United States.

He established Snyder Consulting in July 1998 so that he could return to client service. In 2003, he teamed with former colleague, Craig Workman to form Snyder & Workman Communications.

A graduate of Cornell University, Pete leads the issues management and crisis communications efforts of Lobbyist Source. His past agency experience overseeing offices in 20 U.S. cities provides vital contacts for clients.
