Peter Torrebiarte

Senior Director, Operations

Boston, MA, USA

Peter grew up in Guatemala in a family dedicated to growing coffee and other crops. He relocated to the United States in 1997 where he eventually served as global sustainability director for a leading specialty coffee company. In this role, he found his passion for challenging the status quo by leading a team that developed an award winning sourcing program that addresses social, environmental, quality and financial transparency. He brings the same passion to uplifting his colleagues at MASS. 

As the Managing Director of Operations, Peter oversees the global operations business unit responsible for advancing policies, benefits, recruitment and improved career paths for team members. Under his leadership, he strives to empower the voices and potential of all staff, ensuring that decision-making and organizational power are balanced, dynamic, and solution-oriented.  

In addition, Peter stewards the development of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategies for the organization, in collaboration with the Executive Directors, Executive Council and other leaders across disciplines. 

Outside of MASS, Peter has volunteered on the board of Boston Children’s Museum, Project Citizenship, Newton Wellesley Hospital and currently on the Agriculture committee of The Trustees of Reservations.
