About me

Peter

I am the Managing Director & Co-Founder of identifi Global. I was once the world synchronised trampoline Champion and love to DJ House Music.

Full bio

Pete is a recognized leader in Cyber Security and Executive Search Recruitment. With nearly two decades of experience directing cyber teams in major global security projects, Pete co-founded identifi global in 2015. He is an innovative and strategic thinker, and a committed advocate for the importance of candidate experience in the recruitment industry. Pete is also a founding board member of CERIS, the Confederation of Ethical Recruiters in Information Security. He is often invited to present at conferences and events on topics such as Recruitment innovation, Candidate Experience, and Executive Search.

July 2022

Excellent personalised experience from initial contact and CV submission. Peter provided assistance and support with the job specification cover letter tailoring and interview preparation. Additionally, he provided detailed feedback and was an integral part of my application process, although it didn’t work out for me with the role. I would 100% recommend your recruitment service. Thanks again.
