Peter Cross (52)
Technical Director
As an engineering graduate, Peter has an abiding interest in all forms of technology. Commencing with software development at Price Waterhouse, he applied his skills in the financial sector for 22 years before becoming Head of IT at Arvato Loyalty. His first novel, ‘The Warning’, a thriller based around climate change and the fact that it might easily be worse than we have imagined, compelled him to ‘do something useful’ rather than watch from the sidelines. Away from work, Peter is married with two teenage children. Since rowing for Cambridge in the 1979 Boat Race, he keeps himself supremely fit as a Water Polo player, Triathlete and Mountain biker. He’s the only person we know who can eat as many chocolate biscuits as he likes!
