Peter is an accomplished arts administrator, writer and researcher and has had a rich and diverse career across some of this country’s most significant organisations. This has included a decade as an award winning producer and presenter for ABC Radio National, and subsequently a term as Chief of Staff to the ABC Managing Director David Hill, a high point in the organisation’s history and marked by its strength of commitment to Australian content and an expansion of its digital and international services.

Peter later served as Chief of Staff to the Lord Mayor of Sydney for a term coinciding with city’s hosting of the 2000 Olympic Games. The diverse challenges of planning and delivering the city’s ‘host city’ responsibilities were a highlight of this chapter in his career.

More recently Peter has held senior roles at two of NSW’s most important cultural institutions - the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences and Sydney Living Museums. Each of the roles have required high level liaison and management across Board and Executive, co-ordination with Ministerial offices and sophisticated analytical and communication skills. This has included leadership of the strategic planning processes for both museums, representing each at government-initiated inquiries and reviews, and reviewing and enhancing governance practice.

Across his diverse career, Peter has maintained a commitment to supporting organisations that provide public benefit, and that enrich and support a more civil society.
