Bio
Ben van der Merwe
I have been a work associate with Peter in ExxonMobil over most of his career and always respected him as a diligent and proficient engineer and manager. He has developed a broad range of skills in his various roles that makes him ideal for any company to consider in the current challenging business environment and in looking to the future energy transition. Peter approaches his work with an astute business mind and takes a balanced approach to solving problems and initiating change. He consults others, delegates well and leads with clarity. I would highly recommend him in any leadership position.

Peter is a strong advocate for renewables and alternative energy solutions. He has a strong understanding of the global interactions and an entrepreneurial mindset that make him a great leader in business development. Peter has extensive experience in the energy sector and is able to leverage that experience with great impact. Additionally, Peter has been a powerful mentor with true care for equitable treatment of all employees. He is proactive in his support of both company values and principles as well as the development of colleagues. I had the privilege to work with Peter in two capacities, as a peer and as a subordinate. He was able to easily transition from peer to manager as his leadership style promotes strong collaboration. Peter is a valuable resource for any organization and I would gladly welcome an opportunity to work both for and with him again.
