The Big Brother Sage Who Helps Leaders Finish Well

Pete Chambers embodies the heart of a Big Brother-type sage, someone who comes alongside high-capacity leaders with wisdom, compassion, and a deep desire to help them finish well. With decades of CEO experience, scaling acquired companies, and a life rooted in faith, Pete has dedicated his Sage Stage to investing in others through his simple yet powerful mission: “To invest in high-capacity leaders in thriving organizations by helping them prioritize their lives, achieve excellence, and finish well.”

Over thirty years, Pete worked intentionally as a member of YPO Forum peer groups to sort out his unique calling. He actively pursued both sage mentoring and peers—and I have watched him diligently put that learning into practice for more than twenty years. At age fifty-seven, he leads the Chambers Interests family office but has stepped out of CEO roles because he has a clear and compelling understanding of his unique contribution. He lives out this mission across several impactful platforms.

First and foremost, he invests in the leaders of the portfolio companies inside Chambers Interests. After all, serving should begin at home, and the companies they own are his home base. Then, as a founding partner of 100xForum.org, he mentors CEOs and top executives, guiding them to not only scale their businesses with purpose and integrity, but also to zero in on their calling and kingdom impact. His Sage approach focuses on the whole person, helping leaders balance the demands of success with the deeper callings of faith, family, and service.

But Pete’s influence doesn’t stop with just business leaders. As the chairman of Rivertree Academy in Fort Worth, Texas, he teams up with the dynamic Dr. Justina Jenkins, one of America’s most talented leaders in inner-city education. Together, they’re helping students from underserved communities Learn Well, Love Well, Work Well, and Lead Well. Rivertree exists to serve Christ by educating His children, offering scholarships to students who might otherwise be left behind. Pete’s heart for the poor shines through in this role, where he combines his strategic mind with his passion for lifting up the next generation.

Pete knows his strengths and knows his purpose because he has worked on it for more than twenty-five years with the sages in his life, like Bob Buford and Lloyd Reeb. Pete has learned over time to ask great questions and has the added intuition through experience to help leaders move to clarity and purpose. Whether he’s advising company executives in the Chambers Interest family office, mentoring a CEO through the 100x Forum, or walking the halls of Rivertree Academy, Pete brings the same steady, caring presence. His wisdom is gentle yet firm, encouraging others to focus on what matters most—faith, family, and leaving a legacy that lasts. In his words, “God has blessed me with much, and now I find extreme joy in helping others on the journey from success to significance.”
