Thanks to his experience, he is a networking professional by heart and does not give people the impression he has a one-time-only interest in them (or their feelings): he actually is interested.”

“I know few people, perhaps no one else, who are such selfless, tireless and alert connectors as Peter. Peter has a genuine interest in other people, wants them to succeed and without any direct or immediate benefits to himself. coaches them to success. I have often received mails or telephone calls from Peter in which he offers to introduce me to someone whom he thinks may be helpful for me to know. Since Peter has a very high-quality network, these people are invariably the right people in the right places. Peter then makes sure the other person knows why it is worthwhile for them to spend some time with me. Peter’s quiet demeanor and sense of humor make sure the process itself is a pleasure for all involved, whatever the outcome.”

“I met Peter at Ecademy a network-club-meeting. I was impressed by his divers and high-value network. I ‘chatted’ with him at first and noticed his high skills of listening and reacting. All in a very constructive manner. Peter has shown to be a really good connector and making new successful ways possible, just like the case of the ‘Senseo-effect” with ASAP. He uses his experience and capability to understand meaning behind facts, situations and behavior. Mixed with his deep respect for today he makes people think towards tomorrow and helps to build new ways in personal and business opportunities. He is fully committed to the ‘Givers gain” and shows how to reach a goal using new technology, discipline and long-term vision. Peter gave me more than once successful leads to new business. Those people all have deep respect for Peter as a person. It is really pleasant to receive such warm leads and references. Peter enables to give energy and am honored to have him within my close network-contacts. Connect to him and you will share my experience!”

“Peter is more than helpful. Upon the creation of my university education concept for advanced internet technology he did not hesitate one second and introduced me to three senior staff professionals while other connections of mine did not even respond. And a person who is this proactive in the sector of networking is similarly active in other branches of their life also. I thus highly recommend Peter not only as a networker, but also as a professional.”

“I worked with Peter over the 2007 calendar year on a sales opportunity with a major medical company. Peter’s executive relationships opened the door for this engagement. One thing I noticed working with Peter is that he is quite professional and has an excellent rapport with his clients. In my experience working with him, he truly understands his clients needs and their business. From a teaming perspective, he is all inclusive and has a positive influence on the team, working to define goals and strategies, believing no detail is too small. Peter would be a huge asset to any sales organization and I would recommend him as a leader and one who is capable of building and maintaining key executive level relationships.”

While doing this, he has always been most enjoyable and pleasant to work with.”

Peter acted as a true “spider-in-the-web”, bringing the right people at the right to the table, when such was required. A true global account director, very professional, sensitive to situations and able to react to these in the required ways.”

“I’ve worked with Peter in conjunction with Philips and Medical Imaging for nearly 2 years. Peter defines the role of Client Executive for an Integrated Account team. The depth and quality of his contacts are outstanding. It is also obvious that his interactions with Philip in behalf of IBM are appreciated by the Philips team as well. On top of that, he’s an exceptionally nice person to work with!”

Scott Cleare , WW Segment Executive – Medical Imaging , IBM – HC&LS


“Being Peter’s successor as manager of the technical team was both easy and difficult. Easy because there was a well oiled team and difficult because Peter had established trusting relationships with all of his staff ensuring them that their interest were always carefully weighed against those of the client.”
