Colleagues describe him as "Some colleagues naturally stand out, and Peter is one of those people for me. Over the past two years at Mitre 10, I’ve genuinely enjoyed every interaction we’ve shared. One of Peter’s strengths is his unique perspective—his questions often challenge my own thinking in fresh ways, sparking deeper insights and conversations. His talent for recalling and sharing insights from books and podcasts is remarkable, always sparking engaging discussions that help me learn more. Peter also has a rare quality in today’s world: he asks thoughtful questions and truly listens to the answers, showing a genuine interest in others’ perspectives. My only ‘disappointment’ is that we haven’t had more opportunities to work closely together. I look forward to seeing where Peter’s career takes him and am confident, he has much to offer any team he joins as he continues to learn and grow." and "Peter's work in championing, developing and delivering designing thinking into the Vodafone business was both impressive and effective. From selling the idea, engaging executive sponsorship, building a team and then evangelising design thinking first within the team, department and then whole business, Peter was a ball of energy, sharer of knowledge, leading teams of peers, managers and executives through seemingly alien concepts to a point where the ideas and outputs resonated with all involved, and then created more believers and supporters. HIs dry wit, easy approachability and seemingly endless depth of knowledge left those who got involved feeling energised, excited and 100% engaged. The extent to which design thinking is now a part of everyday work life at Vodafone is a living demonstration of Peter's hard work, energy and impact."
