Bio
Tim McCready
Peter's background as a lawyer, his financial understanding, and interest in design thinking means you can always guarantee an interesting conversation, and that he will provide strategic insights and advice across a spectrum of industries. I worked with Peter in various roles, but most recently to establish a not-for-profit in London, Coverge+UK, tasked with bringing together people from across business, technology, and design to generate 'creative abrasion'. It is Peter’s passion across each of these sectors that ensure any contribution of his greatly accelerates success.

Peter helped us out at the Icehouse with research on funding programmes and competitor benchmarking. Back in 2002, there still weren't a lot of business accelerators out there and the Icehouse was a new model. Peter's interest in startups and venture capital was evident and I'm glad that he's gone on to pursue that direction.
