"I feel a great team spirit around the globe."

Meet Peter

Vice President of the Global Business Services

I like to think of myself as a father, a husband, a son, a friend and a passionate leader driving change by building a strong, winning team. As Vice President, Global Business Services (GBS), I work with our talented team to partner with our functions such as Finance, IT, and HR to deliver operational excellence and continuous improvements of business services. This also includes the implementation of a new GBS centre in Lisbon for an IT Hub and Finance Shared Services.

There is a lot to talk about here, but to try and articulate what I think it means… I think it’s the ability to attract people that share the same vision, then build on the wisdom of the team and the strengths of each individual to create and execute a strategy to progress towards that vision. The "how" and "what" are equally important but the most important for me is the "why". It also means to be ourselves with all of our weaknesses and to show our vulnerabilities to our teams. This will create credibility that is another key component of true leadership.

I joined in January 2020 as I was attracted by the compelling purpose of the company to care about people in need, with the vision of “pioneering trusted medical solutions to improve the lives we touch” and by the very high quality of people I met during the recruitment process. I have never worked in the medical technology industry before however it relates to me a lot personally as both of my parents are doctors. You can imagine how proud they are that I work at Convatec.

I am very proud of the way we have been working together during the pandemic that keeps us on track with the implementation of the new GBS operations in Lisbon. This is exceptional and we will all remember it. Kudos to all of our people involved.

The main challenge is that none of us have ever done this before. The core solution was to create an environment enabled by current technologies that allows us to work remotely. However, most importantly to also create a great place to work by trusting each other and caring for each other. We continue to recruit, induct and train our new joiners completely remotely in the last month or so. Their feedback has been excellent - they feel that they are important to us. Our teams responded positively to the challenges, I feel a great team spirit around the globe and I do my best to be connected with them and to recognise their efforts.

As a business services professional I work a lot with the concept of a balanced scorecard that looks at all angles of the operations. I try to adapt this personally and plan to allocate time to everything that is important for me.

Family is one of my top priorities. I love spending time with my wife, my 6-year-old daughter and remotely connect to the rest of our family as my parents live in my hometown Budapest, Hungary and my sister and her family live in Sydney, Australia. I will surely find the time to visit them as soon as the pandemic ends. I truly believe in continuous improvements and that is most relevant to the balance of my life. I keep improving it and each day is a new opportunity.
