Bio

Peter joined the Global Development team at Imperial College in December 2017 where he is Head of Development (Asia). He is responsible for raising philanthropic support for the College across East and Southeast Asia. Usually, this involves travelling regularly to meet with alumni and supporters, but the ongoing pandemic provides both the opportunity to engage the world from his study as well as the challenge of having the same impact as in person engagement. Peter acts as a point of contact across the advancement division with respect to working in Asia, and assists with alumni relations and other activity in the region alongside his core fundraising activities.

Prior to joining Imperial College London, Peter worked for Merton College, University of Oxford, in regular giving and subsequently major gifts. Whilst completing his studies at Oxford as a student, Peter first worked in fundraising as a student caller, and later a student supervisor, at the University of Oxford Development Office. He holds a Batchelor’s Degree in Theology, from St. Peter’s College, University of Oxford.
