Dipl. Ing. Peter Lendl
After studying technical mathematics and a research assignment at the Vienna University of Technology, I gained my first professional experience as a product manager for microcomputer systems at ITT Austria.
Afterwards, I worked for 30 years (20 years of which at Hewlett-Packard) in various management positions (mainly sales and marketing) in the IT industry.
I have been self-employed as a consultant and lecturer at the Vienna University of Technology for over ten years. I started to work for Coverdale in 2008.
My focus is on consulting and steering sustainable development projects in the context of collaboration and leadership.
My private interests are family, hiking, travelling, culture(s), dancing, golf, good food, good wine and our friends.

my approach
When I work with people, I want to learn from them and support them in developing their skills and applying them in their daily lives.
My great concern is passing on my practical experience and enthusiasm.
My philosophy: “Strengthen strengths.”
