Peter Sisson T’94 always knew he’d become an entrepreneur. When he was a student at Tuck, he took a Myers Briggs test which told him entrepreneurship was an integral part of his personality. “I’m a very creative person. I like the idea of creating something from nothing,” Sisson says. “Tuck not only reinforced that I could do that, but it also prepared me to do that by teaching me how to write a coherent pitch deck.”
