“I have worked with Pete and for him. He is an effective and clear communicator, and is "global" in his approach - taking into consideration the impact of his actions when managing projects and operational issues. Pete’s work ethic is first class.” June 22, 2007

“Pete was (and still is) a rare breed; strong technical skills that he continually kept up-to-date through numerous courses and certifications, great man management / motivation skills giving him the ability to get the mundane but critical tasks under control and just as important a nice bloke with it. Pete originally worked as a direct report, when an opportunity arose to restructure the department there was no hesitation in moving Pete into a peer role (EMEA Connectivity and Security Operations Manager). The rest is history, he has gone on and achieved great things which is of no surprise and well deserved.” January 7, 2007

“It was a pleasure to work for Peter Groom at Credit Suisse (former CSFB). Peter's technical knowledge in IP networks and systems speak for itself. As a manager Peter built rapport, trust and understating among his team members, peers and colleagues and above all he respects all who he deals with. He let people to get on with their work and be available if help or guide is required. At the same time he is focused on overall goals, targets and deadlines. It was sad to see him leave the team and I hope to work for/with him some time in the future.” January 4, 2007

Peter showed remarkable leadership to keep moving work forward despite internal bureaucracy, and to keep staff focused on key goals and targets. Peter's management style made for a comfortable and enjoyable work experience and gained both the trust and understanding of his peers and colleagues.

Colin Constable, Network Integration,Security,Automation & Management (ISAM, CSFB
managed Peter at Credit Suisse First Boston

“Peter was my day to day manager at CSFB (now Credit Suisse). Peter stood out as a manager. In a somewhat bureaucratic organisation he was always focused on objectives and outcomes without getting bogged down in inconsequential detail. He allowed those that worked well without micro-supervision to get on with the job and managed to encourage those that required it to find a better way. Given a choice of managers (as there were) I would seek out Peter for guidance. It was sad to see him go.” December 6, 2006

“As my day-to-day line manager during my year as a placement student at CSFB, Peter provided me with a good mixture of support, encouragement and challenging tasks. He gave me the free reign to pursue my tasks without overbearing management, but he made sure I always knew I could turn to him for help when needed, and took the time to teach and expand my knowledge on the subject at hand. On the whole, a great guy to work with, and one of the best to work for.” June 18, 2007
