An accomplished and commercially astute financial services director, Peter has a wealth of experience in the development and management of service delivery across diverse geographies, cultures and functions.

From experience in engaging on Robotics programmes, executive sponsor for various Derivatives Regulatory Reform programmes, resolving key client data initiatives, establishing Change Delivery teams and restructuring wealth management businesses, Peter has worked at senior levels on key change issues providing tactical leadership and project stakeholder and business partner management.
Peter said: “BDO Greenlight operates at the forefront of change and I’m looking forward to working with the company on some very exciting, substantial change projects and programmes. Businesses in the Channel Islands are in the process of making significant changes across all areas as they prepare for the implementation of EU GDPR and other major regulatory initiatives taking effect this year. This is a hands-on role, created as BDO Greenlight moves into new services, and I expect to be very busy.”
