ATLANTA, GA, March 26, 2026—Peterson Technology Partners (PTP) is excited today to announce the continued expansion of its domestic operations with the addition of Derek Bolden.
A global leader in AI-first consulting and recruiting solutions, PTP has recently expanded operations in Charlotte and Dallas, and today strengthens its presence in Atlanta. As a Senior Account Executive, Bolden will be tasked with building new relationships with area businesses and growing existing accounts.
A resident of the Atlanta area with more than 18 years of IT staffing and business development experience, he has supported organizations like Edible Arrangements, Landis and Gyr, Cardlytics, and O’Reilly Auto Parts in the past.
Bolden specializes in helping companies meet unique tech talent and service needs in areas like artificial intelligence, cloud, DevOps, cybersecurity, and data science.
A highly effective communicator, he’s known for the thoughtful approach he brings to the challenges of technology and talent in today’s high-speed climate.
In announcing the move, PTP’s VP of Sales and Operations Eric Treida praised Bolden for his relationship-building skills and competitive spirit. “It’s really an exciting time for the company, and Derek brings terrific energy, experience, and talent to our Atlanta operations.”
He will collaborate as needed with fellow Atlanta-resident Abby Kahler, PTP’s Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships. As Kahler’s role remains global in scope and focused on enterprise needs, Bolden’s addition strengthens PTP’s ability to effectively serve this fast-growing region.
As a National Honors and Dean’s List graduate of the University of Maryland, Bolden earned his degree in Government and Politics while excelling as a varsity athlete. He competed on the track team as a 100-meter and 200-meter sprinter and as a member of the 4×1 relay team.
He continues to be a sports enthusiast and believes this competitive and collaborative background has helped drive his professional success.
