| . |
Pete Stewart is a 32-year veteran of the forest products industry. In 2000, he founded Forest2Market, the only transaction-based wood fiber pricing service in the industry. Two decades later, Forest2Market has grown into a leading provider of wood raw material pricing data and supply chain expertise to the forest products industry worldwide.
In 2019, when Battery Ventures partnered with Forest2Market and Fisher International, Stewart—a long-time trusted advisor to the executive management of major pulp and paper and other forest products companies globally—became President and CEO of both firms. Following the acquisition of Tecnon OrbiChem in 2020, Stewart expanded his role as CEO of all three companies, which were subsequently rebranded as ResourceWise.
Under Stewart's leadership, ResourceWise continued to grow, acquiring Wood Resources International and PRIMA Markets in 2022, broadening its global reach in wood fiber pricing and expertise in biofuels and low-carbon feedstocks. In 2023, ResourceWise further expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of Chemical Intelligence, strengthening its position in the chemical markets.
As the CEO of ResourceWise, Stewart identifies acquisition opportunities and works tirelessly to integrate new price-reporting companies and their employees into the ResourceWise family and culture. A Texas native, Stewart holds a BS in Forestry from Texas A&M and an MS in Economics from the University of Georgia.
