Inspire others to ask good questions, and empower them to make good decisions.

His efforts integrate functional aims into every colleague's actions, championing a vision of self-directed ownership of problems and solutions across an end-to-end basis.

Occasionally, he uses 5 words when 2 would do, it's something he's working on every day!

What does Peter do for fun?

He loves dog walks with the office mascot, food (eating, cooking, and reviewing), researching cars (he's particularly fond of the Land Rover Discovery 4), and speaking with interesting people from around the world. He's a keen traveller, having trekked through the jungle of Ecuador, to sleeping under the stars of New Zealand; exploring Vancouver by bicycle, and desperately using Google Translate to avoid buying 40 croissants in Nice.
