June 11, 2024 at 2:46 pmI only want to add to what Ram so eloquently stated, Peter was a indeed a die hard professional and it was a great privilege to get to know him, work with him, and that was priceless. With KLM and then as Atlas, we built the close professional and personal relationship that was possible then and did indeed together as a team we made things happen that otherwise could not be imagined . Never shy to give me the hardest time in negotiations and enjoy every minute of it, it was always followed with a wink and a smile then a pint in the pub. Rest in Peace Peter, you will be missed.
