A problem solver’s problem solver.
“I have worked with Peter, as a colleague, client, reinsurer and competitor. He is one of the most thoughtful people in the industry. He knows what questions to ask and where to find the answers. He has done it all and if he hasn’t he can figure it out. A problem solver’s problem solver.”
Invaluable Asset
“I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Pete Thomas for over fifteen years. In the insurance industry, he is recognized by his peers as a top expert. His training and research abilities are unparalleled. I have often tapped into his years of executive leadership experience and deep OSINT skills, for consultation on threat and vulnerability assessment reports related to new and emerging risks. The detailed reports are inclusive with historical perspectives and symmetric and asymmetric risk potentials. Additionally, he can take complex issues and break them down into training sessions which are easily digestible and actionable. Over the years he has become an invaluable asset to my organization.”
