Testimonials

As a trusted advisor to globally leading organisations in the clean energy transition, Peter Gutwein is passionate about the importance of renewable diversity and circular economies, and can support organisations with strategies to navigate the policy and stakeholder landscape.

“As our Premier through COVID-19, Peter Gutwein had to make extraordinary decisions around closing Tasmania’s borders to the world, all while serving as Minister for the State’s critical tourism industry. His leadership, responsiveness, and compassion towards our tourism operators through this time has earned him the enduring respect of our industry. 

Peter also articulated an exciting vision for Tasmania’s tourism future as one of the world’s first carbon-neutral visitor destinations, as well as a destination for world-class events. 

Peter is an engaging, forthright, and direct speaker, who will bring unique real-world experiences in business, politics, and leadership.”
