In 1993, Pete Cittadini took one of the
hugest risks of his life when he move from
Boston to San Mateo to join Actuate Corp.
He left behind an influential position running worldwide operations for a company
with more than 500 employees to work
alongside 15 product engineers in a startup.
His passion for business intelligence
and database technologies led him to the
company, and throughout the years, he
has been able to identify opportunities
and viabilities for the company. Seven
years ago, he was named CEO, and
today, he’s regarded as a “re-entrepreneur” at Actuate because of the new life
he’s breathed into the company by
broadening its business model to leverage opportunities.
In addition to growing and strengthening the business side of the company, he
has also created a culture of giving back,
even from the early days when the company wasn’t financially stable. The company gives substantially to Science
Buddies and Peninsula Habitat for
Humanity, having donated money to
build three homes in the area in the past
seven years. But it’s not just the money
that speaks. Every year, Cittadini and a
handful of employees also volunteer
their time to build houses in South San
Francisco.
Cittadini has proven himself a solid
leader and looks forward to future possibilities.
This president and CEO says, “Transforming the way Actuate is modeling
itself to do business in the future is what
gets me started in the morning.”
