It's so very difficult to explain Peter Lau to those who have never met him. But those that have will recall a person that would stop at nothing to help anyone and everyone that he worked with. A man so dedicated to his work that he would take days off and then log-on from WeWork, despite me demanding that he take time to rest..
Peter was one of the smartest technologists that I've ever worked with and would find a solution to any technical problem. Peter would also drive people nuts by taking on every project and getting involved himself but would usually deliver on time - predominantly because his teams would not want to let him down, such was their love of their boss. He had a unique management stye that could involve noodles, fried chicken and whiskey as motivational tools.
Peter was also so humble that he would also use his precious time to help people with the most mundane of IT issues such as which phone plan to choose, which Mac to buy and how to sort their home wifi out... I can't imagine too many CTO's who took time out of their schedules to do the same.
It's been an honour and privilege to work with him for the past 14 years and he leaves a huge chasm in the organisation and in everyone's lives that he touched. He lived, breathed and embodied the culture of the firm to which he dedicated his career but forged so many friendships that live way beyond that.
Rest well my old friend, you will never be forgotten.
