Client Testimonials

A leader in the truest sense, Peter is an incredible colleague and friend who has been at the center of and critical to all that has been accomplished at GSN Games for 6+ years. He has navigated us through the most difficult times, doing hard things with grace, intelligence, wisdom and great humor. Peter led an HR department that functioned absolutely seamlessly – truly breaking the mold with their consistent efficiency, positive attitude and outstanding guidance. Are his shirts loud, his glasses wildly colored, and his language a bit English for this citizen of a break-away colony? Sure. But despite those distractions – or perhaps in part thanks to that levity in his soul – for me and the exec team, Peter has been a trusted voice of reason, highly connected to the people throughout the organization, and with the highest level of skill and experience.

Mark Feldman
CEO GSN Games

There was never a topic that Peter couldn’t raise. There was never a topic where Peter couldn’t formulate a really solid point of view. And there was never a topic where his view wasn’t a helpful one. He was always able to unblock or help position any topic in my mind in a better, more informed way. There was lots of joy in the way he worked, a healthy dose of humor and a great level of “hey-this is the games industry”- approach. Always serious business, but never too serious. And he was always present in the discussions, unfortunately a decreasingly common feature in us humans.

SVP Bingo & Casino

Peter was engaged and highly attentive during our sessions. He crafted a three-month program that focused on professional development areas that my contemporaries/peers noted as areas for improvement. I continue to reference key takeaways when interacting in a professional environment. I would highly recommend Peter as a go-to resource if you’re looking to build high-EQ.

SVP, Bellwether

Peter made it very easy to speak openly and candidly by providing a perceived safe space to explore my strengths and weaknesses as well as how to leverage those qualities.
