A key principle guiding him comes from a mentor’s advice: “In the corporate world, always push yourself to be better than yesterday.”
Peter is also a strong advocate for work-life balance, calling it “essential for sustainability both in life and in leadership.” He believes being fully present both at work and at home boosts performance and creativity.
