Peter started his career working as a research engineer with one of the co-founders of TCP/IP and co-authored a seminal paper on Network Management published in ACM Sigcomm in 1988. Peter next worked at Hewlett-Packard on HP Openview, now a multi-billion dollar enterprise at HPE. In 1994, Peter was recruited by Oracle to their Media Server division, Larry Ellision's pet project, and helped pivot the division to internet based video streaming servers, before leaving Oracle to be the founding CTO of Webvan. In September 2001 Peter teamed up with his ex-Oracle colleagues to co-found a company focused on online fraud in banking based on a unique stream querying technology. The company was acquired in 2006 by Entrust. He created YouWeb Incubator to provide small select groups of promising entrepreneurs with long-term mentorship and funding. Over the years, Peter has kept a finger on the pulse of society and helped build technologies that will create the most impact and benefit for all people. His methodology has been extremely successful, helping found and scale up huge companies in social & mobile gaming, IoT, and software.
