Getting Personal with Compt, Pete Schramm, CEO and founder of
Latitude, shares how growing up on a Pennsylvania farm shaped his approach to building relationships and creating opportunities. Standing at 6'8", Pete's perspective on connection is as expansive as his height.

- From farm chores in Butler, PA to playing basketball abroad in Hong Kong
- How he transformed cultural and language barriers into opportunities for connection
- The pivotal moment when he asked his boss, "How can I be the best employee you ever had?"
- Why intentional mentorship isn't just for those at the top—it's for everyone

What is Getting Personal with Compt?
In an era where the line between work and life blurs, we're asking: why do we still treat employees less like humans and more like machines? There's plenty of talk about "enhancing the employee experience" but the conversation overlooks the core of it all - the human experience.
Getting Personal with Compt, hosted by Head of Brand and Communications Lauren Schneider, ditches the formalities and gets real with trailblazers and thought leaders who simply give a hoot about humanity. Join us as we explore the successes and challenges of shaping a workplace where people come first.
