Since 2014, Peter has been a New Zealand representative for the Asia-Pacific Open Innovation Platform, a group aimed at promoting outstanding innovations invented in AP-OIP Member Economies, and enhancing commercialisation opportunities for them.
Peter became the CEO of Wellington UniVentures spinout company Advemto in 2022 and continues to work part time with us as Senior Commercialisation Manager, International.
When he’s not on a plane, Peter likes to play the violin and enjoys cooking for his family.
