Peter Hall brings a background of diverse experience centred on the common theme of project planning and implementation.

During over twenty years in senior pubic sector management, Peter Hall was responsible for projects ranging from evaluation of major government policy and service delivery initiatives to the design and installation of large scale technological applications.
