LinkedIn ↗
Peter Chovanec is a Strategic Advisor to Navi Auto Transport, bringing more than a decade of competitive strategy and operations experience from some of the world’s largest technology companies to the auto transport industry. He joined Navi in 2026 to help the company sharpen its market positioning and compete head-on with far larger incumbents.
Peter spent over eleven years at Uber, most recently as Global Strategy Lead for Business Performance and Competitive Analytics — advising leaders across the company on how to build and defend competitive differentiation and drive category growth. Earlier at Uber, he led competitive strategy for Uber Eats across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, ran ridesharing operations across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and built competitive growth strategies for Latin American markets including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina.
Before Uber, Peter worked as an industry analyst at Google, a risk consulting analyst at KPMG, and a strategy consultant at IBM — a foundation in data analysis, risk, and economic strategy that he now applies to auto transport. At Navi, his focus is competitive intelligence and positioning: identifying exactly where the company can win against established brokerages, and turning that into a strategy the team can execute on pricing, service, and growth.

In His Own Words
“[[ APPROVE WITH PETER — suggested: The question I always start with is simple: where can we actually win? Strategy is as much about deciding what not to do as what to do. ]]”
— Peter Chovanec, Strategic Advisor · Navi Auto Transport
“We started out competing with brokers many times our size. We’ve closed that gap fast — not by hiring faster than them, but by deciding where technology beats a phone call and automating everything that doesn’t need a human.”
— Peter Chovanec, Strategic Advisor · Navi Auto Transport
