Prior to GHO, Peter had a 15-year career with creative agencies in Sydney and London. He was associate-director in London with Lowe Howard-Spink before returning to Sydney to be the managing director for Lowe Lintas, a large integrated international agency. He launched his own business called 360 in 2000 with foundation client the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
Having subsequently launched a separate design company and acquired another creative agency, he merged the businesses to form GHO in 2008. A strong proponent of the value that independent agencies bring to clients and individual careers, GHO now has a 21-year relationship with its foundation client and a leading staff retention rate in the industry. Twenty-five percent of the GHO team have worked with the agency for more than 10 years. Peter’s focus today is on the business development and financial management of GHO.

She is motivated by the endless possibilities of a better community, created by the convergence of culture, human behaviour, design and technology.
