Bio

Peter was a fantastic professional to work with in the MoneyGram business! Peter is a motivated, forward-thinking individual with exceptional industry knowledge. Most importantly, one of his key skills is problem solving where he has the uncanny ability to make sense out of situations and present intelligent solutions. When Belize was facing de-risking challenges 3-4 years ago, Peter managed to successfully pull out all the stops to keep the MoneyGram Belize business alive. As a result, the business has continued to maintain seamless operations. I would have no hesitation recommending Peter to any organization!

I worked with Peter during his tenure at MoneyGram as Head of the Caribbean. He demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the region and could always be relied on to find innovative solutions to many of the issues faced by his agents. One of his outstanding contributions was his successful navigation of the de-risking challenges faced by many of the agents in the region to come up with viable solutions, some of which are still being used today. He is an all-rounder in the remittances industry and will undoubtedly be able to make positive contributions in several capacities in this sphere, from marketing to product development to sales. Peter is the ultimate team player, solution oriented and driven for results.
