Peter brings extensive leadership experience across some of the world’s largest creative and media networks. Most recently, he served as Global CFO of EssenceMediacom, where he oversaw financial operations across their global footprint. Prior to this, he held senior roles at J Walter Thompson, RKCR/Y&R, Mercier Grey and M&C Saatchi where he was a trusted advisor to boards and CEOs, steering financial, commercial and operational performance.
As CFO, Peter’s role extends across the entire business portfolio, covering Aircards Studio (immersive creative and production), Invisionary Media (AI and AR-powered digital out-of-home displays), and Metalitix™ (spatial analytics platform). He will oversee financial strategy and operational performance across these divisions, ensuring the business is positioned to scale effectively while delivering innovation at the highest level.

I’ve been amazed by the quality of their work in the areas of AR/VR and immersive experiences which is genuinely world-class and by the drive and enthusiasm of all of the team. They already work with global brands such as Diageo, Red Bull and Unilever, a client list that most companies would die for and recently agreed a strategic investment from the private equity group Foresight which will help supercharge their growth in the next few years. Exciting times ahead!”
Euan Jarvie, Executive Chair at Aircards Studio, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Peter to the Aircards leadership team at this exciting time in our journey.
With the investment from Foresight Group and the continuing demand for our world class AR creative outputs, we are well placed to accelerate Aircards business into new markets and new platforms. Peter brings a huge amount of international management expertise and experience that will certainly benefit the business and our teams from day 1.”
