Petersen Consulting Services, a longstanding leader in agricultural professional services, is rebranding as Petersen & Company. This new name pays tribute to founder Bob Petersen, who retired in 2024, and reflects the firm’s outlook for growth – pairing its founders’ essential contributions with new partners and associates to expand the firm’s offerings and client base.

Bob Petersen, a long-time figure in regional and national agricultural circles, has announced his plans to retire.  He will be succeeded at the firm he founded in 2004, Petersen Consulting Services (PCS), by Erica Venancio as the firm’s senior executive.  New to the firm is Zachary Helder, who recently completed his MPA at Princeton University and brings a decade of experience in agriculture, public policy, and organizational management.
