Peter J. Burns III is a renowned serial entrepreneur with a remarkable track record in establishing and operating niche-market, multi-location businesses. With a career spanning 48 years, which began when he was just 19 years old, Burns has founded, acquired, and expanded over 150 individual businesses across various industries.
Peter Burns’ career in entrepreneurship began with his business plan developed in a fourth-year entrepreneurship class at the University of Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce, where he enrolled as a first-year student. That summer (1977), Burns took his business plan and implemented it on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, opening up Nantucket Moped. In a 20-year span, Burns created the largest recreational rental chain in the world, eventually opening more than 100 locations around the U.S. and the Caribbean.
In addition to being a founding member of the world’s largest entrepreneurs organization, at age 29, he was the youngest participant in the history of Harvard Business School’s Owners and Presidents Management Program.

One of Burns’ significant ventures was his move to Africa in August 2013, where he volunteered with a large international NGO as their de facto “Entrepreneur-In-Residence.” During this time, he not only devised innovative strategies to benefit the NGO’s beneficiaries but also unearthed lucrative opportunities for private business ventures in Africa. He collaborated with African partners, local governments, and the US Embassy to forge profitable bilateral connections between businesses in the US and Africa.

He is adept at creative financing techniques, which have allowed him to fund a wide array of enterprises throughout his career.
