Event Materials
Pete Chambers, Managing Partner, Chambers Interests
Pete Chambers, born and raised in Fort Worth, is an entrepreneur and businessman at heart who has based his leadership on Robert Greenleaf’s statement, “Good leaders must first become good servants.” A graduate of Texas Christian University, Pete’s career started in plant operations, sales, and business development for Chemical Lime Company, now a Lhoist Group Company. He later went back to school to attend the University of Texas MBA program, where his entrepreneurial drive gained traction.
Soon after moving back to his hometown of Fort Worth in 1996, Pete purchased Diamond H Recognition, an employee recognition company. Under Pete’s direction as CEO and Chairman, the business was transformed into an employee engagement software platform serving Fortune 1000 companies worldwide. The company re-branded as Inspirus in 2009 and sold to Sodexo in 2016.
Pete is currently living out his mission to serve, lead, and connect leaders in thriving organizations as Managing Partner at Chambers Interests, a single-family office. Pete has served as President of the West Texas Chapter of Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) and has been an active member of his YPO forum for over 25 years. He serves as Chairman of the Board at Rivertree Academy, a private, Christian school serving under-resourced students in a low-income community in Fort Worth. Pete and his wife, Raney, have been married 30 years and have three daughters and one granddaughter.
