OUR PEOPLE

Our people are our greatest asset. Without smart, passionate, results-focussed and down to earth people, our business would not reach its full potential, which is why we invest in developing our people to unleash their potential and give them a chance to do what they do best every day – make a real difference, and have a great time doing it. Here are some of the people that help make PIP the company it is today.

Why I enjoy PIP
I love the work I do at PIP because it involves a unique combination of freedom and experience. Freedom to deliver results according to the situation and context of each engagement, freedom to test the boundaries of the firm's intellectual property, and, doing all of this in an environment that values experience and expertise.

Development within PIP

• Have learnt an incredible amount from the wealth of knowledge within each team. PIP consultants bring a depth of understanding that is transferred to one another during an engagement, in fact, it's one of the main reasons why I joined – having access to people that are passionate about what they do.

Interests
When not travelling to new and exciting parts of the world I consider myself happiest in the water. Surfing and sailing are my first choices for spending a bit of downtime – that, and tracking down a good cup of coffee.
