Bio
LinkedIn User
Peter's first project at Novellus was to look at the company's annual R&D Tax Credit survey and devise a way to accomplish it in-house and achieve cost savings. Despite having never had experience in tax or accounting, he quickly grasped the concepts and was able to define the project needs and create a project timeline. He worked closely with our IT, Business Unit Controllers and engineer managers to develop a robust and user-friendly program which captured all qualified R&D expense data. It resulted in significant recurring cost savings annually.

Not quite fair to say Peter was the assistant - he ran the unit. I've never seen a young officer with such meticulous planning skills and dedication. Absolutely stellar professional.
