Pioneering the Internet - Peter Dawe

Published: June 9, 2019, 8 a.m.

A true 'big thinker' Peter has dedicated his life to being a disruptor.  In this episode we hear about the early days of computing and how his company pioneered interconnected computers creating much of the protocols and infrastructure that became the internet we know today.  

After selling that company, Peter then created over 80 other businesses in a very diverse mix of sectors ranging from an investment firm focused on the third sector, through to spearheading the development of a new town near Cambridge.

He has also applied his forward thinking mind to the impact of global population growth and climate change. His views on this may challenge your own thoughts on the world, but it's worth taking the time to understand why he has drawn certain conclusions and what he believes we now need to do in response.
