And as the former Small Business Editor of The Australian newspaper and the author of the best­ selling book 350 Ways to Grow Your Business, which was translated for the Chinese market, his small business success speech has been continuously sought after by conferences for decades.

Switzer TV

Peter can simulate his Switzer TV program he did for the Sky Business Channel between 2008 and 2018. (He now does this programme streamed on YouTube.) Here we can provide the AV to recreate a live version of the high-rating business show, using ‘talent’ selected by the organisers of the conference. Peter’s team can assist the conference/event AV crew to create the “live” TV experience.

Peter has been doing MC work for over two decades and has led everything from the national conferences for financial, planning and banking groups to special events, starring the likes of GE’s former CEO, Jack Welch, to trade industry expos and government roadshows.

Facilitator

With his background in economics, financial and business commentary on TV, radio and in metropolitan newspapers, along with his 30-year experience running his own business, Peter is equipped to facilitate panels, one-on-one executive interviews, boardroom lunches and hypotheticals.
