“Having worked with Pete as a Senior Management peer at Queensland Health I have found him to be professional, supportive, highy effective and outcome focussed but always with a mind to the business drivers underpinning the value of his deliverables. Pete posesses a breadth of experience, excellent communication skills and comes across as both honest and genuine in both his work ethic and daily approach. Pete applies necessary doses of common sense where required and doesn't hesitate to appropriately provide differing opinion and/or candid feedback. I see this as a key strength of his. I have no hesisation in recommending Pete for any senior management role as he has the ability and versatility to deliver significant wins, changes and outcomes for organisations. I would employ, work with or for Pete in the future without hesitation.”

“Its not often that you have the opportunity to work for someone in senior management who are prepared to do the work they ask of their people. With a team building focus, Pieter ensures he is available for his staff and wades into the fray without hesitation and whenever necessary to support them in deliverying the business outcomes.”

“When Pete assumed the role of Program Director, Telecommunication Connectivity Program at Queensland Health, parts of the program had a poor record for delivery, and the program as a whole did not have a good reputation within the organisation. Since then he has guided the program through a period of intense change, supporting and encouraging staff as they faced the many challenges encountered during transformation into a unit that has proven its ability to rapidly deliver projects under extreme pressure. Pete has demonstrated a determination to succeed through considerable adversity. He has demonstrated the ability to determine strategic directions, and the ability to articulate this to his staff with honesty and respect, and in a way that ensures loyalty and support at a time when disillusionment could easily have been the result. I recommend Pete as an excellent leader who would be an asset in any organisation.”

“Pete has brought a commercial reality to Queensland Health, with the ability to see what is required strategically, communicate clearly and stand firm in insuring the appropriate outcome is achieved both for the short term and long term benefit of the organisation. He has provided excellent support for all of the projects with which I have been involved and I continue to look forward to working with Pete both now and in the future.”
Paul Tate
“Pete was my Executive Sponsor on a critical project. His enthusiasm and ability to push through perceived barriers were infectious. As my sponsor, Pete supported and empowered me to get the job done, and gave clear direction when I sought his advice. I would welcome any opportunity to work with Pete again in the future”
David Camus
“Pete has exceptional management skills, ensuring that his team has the capabilities and capacity to provide exceptional service that is expected of them. Supporting his team Pete provides a clear understanding of what is expected, motivating them to provide "beyond expectation" deliverance.”
