Whether he's contributing to the construction of a railway line or using his expertise to ensure we have and keep our feet dry, Peter brings the same passion to every project. As founder and co-owner of Delta Pi, he combines consultancy assignments with his duties as a board member. And while he enjoys his management role, Peter prefers to focus on his profession. Being able to contribute to projects in public spaces, creating something, gives him the energy to get out of bed every day.

Peter graduated in physics. When he started his studies, he didn't know what field he would end up in. And it was precisely that lack of knowledge that appealed to him. At KEMA, Peter specialized in safety studies of nuclear power plants; a role where safety is top priority and risks and threats are continuously analyzed. With the same passion, he specialized in maintenance optimization. Peter thus developed into an expert risk manager with a broad range of expertise. Since 2001, he has applied his expertise to numerous projects and diverse clients. For example, from 2001 to 2009, Peter was involved as a risk manager in analyzing and managing risks during the construction of the infrastructure for the Amsterdam-Antwerp High-Speed ​​Line. From 2013 onwards, he was also involved as the asset manager's representative in the construction of the Reevediep canal near Kampen and the Reeve Lock complex in Drontermeer. Since 2022, he has been working within the rail sector on the transition from analog train safety to digital safety using ERTMS. Performance-driven improvement in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure is a key concept. Whether it's the Maeslantkering or the Coen Bridge, Peter is always able to recognize the potential for improvement.

Peter is also fascinated by the stars, planets, and the universe; he remains a physicist. Every now and then, he allows himself the time to gaze through his telescope at the billions of stars in the universe in the dead of night. The vastness and infinity of the universe unleash not only the physicist in Peter, but also a true philosopher. And after an evening of stargazing? Everything is put into perspective.
