Bio
Mark Hunter
I worked directly with Peter from May 2012 through to the end of 2014 as he led the MCBC business in Hungary (before he moved back to Prague to lead the Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian business). Peter is not only an accomplished brewer, he has demonstrated himself to be a very effective General Manager, building aligned and capable multifunctional teams and delivering strong results in challenging circumstances-Hungary being a case in point. Peter is a good listener, a creative thinker and always leads with clarity and humility.
