Managing Director The founder and driving force behind CHIL®, Peter defined the radical product vision that is transforming flexible, high volume BSS and OSS solutions. He manages the product and company strategy. Graduating in Physics, Peter moved into software where he has specialised in software solution architecture for over 20 years. His particular interest lies in finding new and creative ways to use software to improve business efficiency. In addition to the telecommunications industry, Peter has had notable success in government and manufacturing. By the late 1990s it became clear that telecommunications were being transformed by the separation of infrastructure from services. Peter identified the market need for a radical new approach that could provide large-scale software solutions, which were capable of constantly evolving with little time and effort. The streamFlex™ platform and business solutions are the result of his vision.
