Bio
Aaron Tanner
Working with Peter in 2022, I was exposed to a warm-hearted, kind and dignified professional who is quick to smile and laugh, thoughtful and attentive. I noticed the following skills and attributes that I am happy to recommend him for: Program knowledge and awareness - I was struck by Peter's deep awareness of each program, the challenges they experienced, and the opportunities. Peter deeply understands the program's objectives, processes, systems, and operating environment. As a result of this, he can contribute meaningfully and deeply to discussions on each of the programs that ACK manages. However, these insights are also coupled with deferment to the decision-making within the program, meaning he steers the ship without taking control or undermining those appointed. Administrator - As an administrator, Peter is always abreast of the tasks needed. He can clearly prioritise his workload, delegate tasks appropriately and adapt, and quickly adjust to changing situations and priorities. During our time together, he remained calm and focused under pressure and could pivot his approach as needed. Peter's administrator skills make him a valuable asset to any organization as he can effectively manage people and resources to achieve organizational goals. Peter as a learner, listener, thinker and strategist - Peter has keen listening skills and can absorb new information and ideas quickly. Coupled with his ability to analyze situations thoroughly and make informed decisions, he is a strategic thinker. When in Peter's presence, you feel you are always with a team member who is going to help you think of the best step to take next. Diplomacy - As a 'gentle' diplomat, Peter always made me feel safe that he could accommodate, reframe, and work easily with potentially challenging ideas or views. This is a real strength and a form of diplomacy with integrity. \while with Peter, it was evident that he always seeks to build positive relationships, I witnessed his eagerness for cooperation and compromise and his facility to predict/identify and resolve conflicts. Collaborator - From our time together, it was clear that he was an integrated collaborator with team members and partners across diverse delivery domains. Communicator - As an excellent communicator, Peter is consistently clear and articulate. He is never at a loss to say the right thing in the right way to the person. A super skill. Team player, builder and leader - Peter is clearly at the centre of a team and interacts well with all his team members. He is an effective team player and leader, building trusting relationships with those around him, and selecting, building, and motivating strong delivery teams. Good energy - Peter poses an energetic and positive "can-do" vibe, his attitude and approach are magnetic and instil in those around him the belief that together, they can achieve their goals and the enthusiasm and determination to stride on.
