Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPeter Bell is a veteran technology founder and CTO with 15 years of experience building communities, training programs, and engineering organizations that scale. Based in New York, he has led engineering teams at General Assembly and launched multiple founder-led ventures (Gather.dev, CTOs at Scale, DirectorPlus, Wheelhouse) focused on helping senior engineering leaders share best practices and adopt AI and platform thinking. He combines hands-on product development—authoring Introducing GitHub for O’Reilly and building internal tools like Flatiron’s Instructor App—with community-driven leadership, running summits, meetups and invite-only networks for CTOs. Known for turning training into scalable, hands-on learning programs, he’s helped train tens of thousands and designed mentorship-driven onboarding for enterprise tooling. Unusually for a serial founder, his background includes psychotherapy training, which informs his pragmatic approach to conflict resolution and executive facilitation. He’s a connector who bridges technical depth, instructional design and executive coaching to accelerate adoption of AI and organizational change.
