ABOUT US
Pollack Peacebuilding Systems is a conflict management consulting firm, led by anthropologist and conflict specialist Jeremy Pollack. Our professional consultants come from an array of backgrounds and academic disciplines, from anthropology to psychology to human resources management. We all have one thing in common, however: our mission to bring more peace into this world. Whether it's between individual coworkers or among distinct work teams, our conflict experts strive to improve workplace relationships, create happier work environments, and make the world a better place to live in any modest way we can.
About PPS
"I am so proud of the amazing team of peacebuilders we've built, joining us from all over the world and from many different academic disciplines and field experiences. We are inspired by the mission of peace."
Founder & Chief Executive OfficerJeremy Pollack
Our Mission: Unity & Respect
Diversity can and should be cherished. Usually, with the right peacebuilder or team of neutral facilitators, conflicts can be constructive, diversity can be a source of strength, and relationships can be transformed. Our aim is to help individuals and groups not only value and express their own unique truths, but also respect other parties' distinct qualities and identities. Through this respect comes greater communication, collaboration, and unification.
Unity and mutual respect.
That is our mission.
