Peter Collyer
Global Business and HR Leader
Peter
is a global business and HR leader, professionally accredited coach, and the
kind of strategic thought partner who doesn’t just ask the tough questions—he
helps you answer them. With a career that spans hospitality, blue-chip consumer
brands, investment banking, tourism, retail, construction, and pureplay digital,
he operates on a simple but powerful belief: success demands purpose, courage
(the real kind—listening and speaking up), authenticity, humility, and a
relentless curiosity to grow.
Specialising in leadership development, culture building, and
multi-generational engagement, Peter has a knack for making complex people
challenges feel solvable—and even exciting. His coaching style is direct,
human, and results-driven, enabling him to build trust at speed and deliver
impact that lasts.
More recently Peter was CPO at Ted Baker, where he led sustainability, ethics,
and all things people and culture. Now, alongside his coaching and facilitation
business, he’s fractional CPO at SQE, a leading green energy company.
He’s also an Ambassador for Wondrous People Ltd. and an Associate of the CIPD,
where he shares wisdom and different perspectives to help leaders solve the
challenges they face, navigating today’s evolving world of work.
