Peter Hastings of {n}.bora


“Born in Cornwall, Peter has a career spanning over twenty years in IT. Having worked for a range of large end-user organisations and global consultancies delivering large digital transformation and ecommerce projects for global brands, he set up {n}.bora (short for the Cornish “nowydh bora” or “new dawns” in 2018 to fulfil the needs of SMEs looking to bring about their own step changes for world-class – but right-sized - Project Management, Digital Transformation, and IT Services. He has a lot to say about how IT can bring enormous benefit to business but is also brutally honest about the shortcomings of the industry and is prolific in his attempts to bring about change from within. While technology is the day job, regular walks along the Coast Path with no mobile signal are one of his favourite pastimes!”
