”We recently partnered with Peter on a Chief Product Officer role within our software portfolio. Peter was always professional, well prepared, and knowledgeable on the market and the candidates he presented. He had clearly taken the time to assess each profile in detail against the brief and continued to present options right up until we had secured our preferred candidate. I have recommended Peter to our wider portfolio since, and I am sure we will work Neon River again as one of the best software executive search firms
