Peter is an award winning and team-focused executive with a proven record of accomplishment in technology leadership, transformation, and innovation. He has a deep knowledge of systems and process thinking, the technology industry, the government sector, and their national and international ecosystems. He has extensive experience developing and implementing organisational change and technology strategies.
Peter was part of the international tech analyst and management consulting communities, including periods at Gartner and Forrester from 1999-2017. Most recently he was the Director of City Innovation at one of Australia's six state capital cities. For four years he led the IT, geospatial, data and information management teams as well as the smart and sustainable city portfolios covering energy, lighting, smart transport and micro-mobility, smart parking, climate infrastructure and the industrial IOT technologies programs. During this time, he was also Chair of the Council of Capital City Lord Mayors Innovation and Connectivity Working Group, and the Australian Federal Government's Hobart City Deal Smart Cities Working Group.
Peter has an inherent capacity for solving difficult problems, especially through the development of growth-based and collaborative partnerships, leveraging new and emerging technologies, and rebuilding high-performing teams. His many commercial, industry development and start-up experiences coupled with extensive cross-industry knowledge, and lived international experience, all add up to an extensive background of strategic vision setting and operational delivery capabilities.
Outside of the office, Peter loves a good adventure in the outdoors. He will read anything, loses hours in the garden, spends more time cleaning his bike than riding it, dabbles in creative writing, religiously follows any sports, and is mostly stuck in the 80’s when it comes to music. He currently lives in Tasmania with his wife and two children.
