Peter's strength lies in his ability to "connect the dots" and bring together people, ideas, experiences and knowledge. He effortlessly bridges the "start-up" world with the established technology world. What impresses me most is how quickly he assimilates new ideas and paradigm shifts into his thinking and strategy - giving you the benefit of both his long experience and recent learnings.
