“I highly value Peter for his deep understanding, knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for his field. Peter is able to take a thought process and make it richer through his ability to stimulate broader thinking from his strong academic and experiential knowledge base. Time spent in conversation with Peter always goes too fast: His contributions are very engaging and if he can’t quench your thirst for knowledge in the moment he will certainly point you to some interesting water holes! Aside from this strength, when I have worked directly with Peter I found him to be a highly supportive team player and a real asset to the team.”
