Motorcycle, a childhood dream

My greatest passion is motorcycle riding, a childhood dream that came true in 2018 when I got my motorcycle license. My first major biking journey took place in the expansive landscapes of Arizona, USA. Following this adventure, I acquired a brand-new BMW R1200GS, one of the world's best adventure motorcycles. My enthusiasm for motorcycling extends beyond the roads; I am a proud member of Europe's largest motorcycle club, BMW Klubben, where I am actively involved in member activities.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Peter since many years and our ways have crossed many times through different companies. I know Peter as an entrepreneur, skilled business and customer-oriented person. In the early days, he created his own CRM software aimed for the SMB Market as he sold successfully and also with consultant services where needed. One of our touchpoints were at Uniweb, a company selling CRM- and IVR solutions and later at SuperOffice CRM where we often met and exchanged business ideas for the future within the CRM and Marketing area.

Later in life, Peter has evolved the concept of CRM to Marketing and Business Automation and he has evolved his businesses to become even more expressive as speaker at events and creating his own process around marketing and how to make businesses effective. I would surely employ Peter at any time and trust him with improving my business needs."
