A Legacy of Leadership

Dr. Olin O. Oedekoven founded Peregrine Global Services in 2002 after serving in various military, academic, and government leadership roles. What began as a small business focused on leadership development grew into a global education technology company under his vision and guidance.

A lifelong learner and decorated veteran, Dr. Oedekoven believed in creating scalable, values-driven solutions that empower individuals and institutions to grow. His commitment to quality, innovation, and integrity laid the foundation for everything we do today.

 

“Choose the harder right over the easier wrong. That is the essence of integrity.”
