Senior Project Manager | Capital Strategic Solutions
Effective municipal leadership requires more than technical expertise, it requires the ability to build strong teams, foster collaboration, and create organizations that are prepared to meet both current and future challenges. At Capital Strategic Solutions, those qualities are exemplified by Peter Sellers, Senior Project Manager.
Peter brings decades of experience in public works, municipal management, transportation operations, and emergency management to CSS. Throughout his career, he has been recognized as a collaborative leader who empowers employees, strengthens organizations, and develops practical solutions that improve services and support long-term success.
For more than 20 years, Peter served as Director of Public Works for the City of Framingham, guiding the department through significant growth and transformation, including the community’s transition from a town to a city form of government. During his tenure, he successfully managed complex infrastructure and operational challenges while building a culture rooted in transparency, accountability, and teamwork.
A hallmark of Peter’s leadership philosophy is his commitment to organizational development. He restructured departmental operations around a “Management by Objectives” framework, establishing clear goals, measurable outcomes, and transparent accountability standards. By creating an environment where employees understood expectations and were empowered to contribute, Peter helped strengthen departmental performance while fostering a culture of trust and collaboration.
Prior to his work in Framingham, Peter served as Director of Transportation and Logistic Support for the Boston Police Department, where he gained valuable experience in emergency management, logistics coordination, and large-scale operational planning. This background further strengthened his ability to lead through complex situations and support organizations facing evolving operational demands.
Known for his ability to identify talent and develop future leaders, Peter has dedicated much of his career to building strong teams and creating opportunities for professional growth. His leadership style emphasizes mentorship, communication, and collaboration, helping organizations cultivate engaged employees who are committed to achieving shared goals.
Peter’s experience across public works, transportation, emergency management, organizational development, and municipal leadership provides CSS clients with a unique combination of operational expertise and people-focused leadership. His ability to build consensus, strengthen teams, and guide organizations through change makes him a trusted resource for communities seeking sustainable, long-term solutions.
“Peter’s leadership style is centered on one of the most important aspects of successful organizations—people. He has an incredible ability to build strong teams, create collaborative work environments, and help organizations achieve meaningful results through transparency and accountability. Peter’s decades of experience in municipal operations, public works, and emergency management provide tremendous value to our clients, but it is his commitment to developing people and fostering trust that truly sets him apart.”
