Background

About Peter Riddell

I have worked in leadership and management roles across the travel industry for the bulk of my career, working in both the retail and corporate sectors. The experience I gained during this period allowed me to then easily transition into project management when the opportunity arose. Across an 8-year period, I successfully lead both agile and waterfall projects in the Telecommunications sector. These projects ranged in size from smaller, business related initiatives through to larger and more complex projects involving a wide range of stakeholders and technologies with budgets exceeding $10m. More recently, I have taken that lived experience and the skills gained in project delivery along with my leadership experience to follow another one of my passions, teaching and skills coaching. I am currently working as a Skills Coach and working with my clients to help them get their qualifications across both the Certificate IV and Diploma of Project Management. Prior to taking on the role of Skills Coach I was teaching both the Diploma of Project Management and the Diploma of Leadership & Management in the Vocational Education sector. I am a qualified Agile Practitioner and alongside this, I hold both the Diploma of Project Management and a Diploma of Leadership & Management.
