strategic advisory

As an intuitive thinker with an extensive network, Peter loves to "connect the dots" even when those dots are disparate or obtuse. "One of my greatest joys in life is to take an idea from one setting and cross-pollinate it into a new setting. Or to connect a person with a need. Board work opens great opportunities to do just that."
