Peter J. Verwer

Strategic advisor

Welcome to a snapshot of my current activities, interests and priorities.

Hi there…

I’m a strategic advisor and non-executive director.

My focus is AI and digital investment assets.

My main activities are:

  • futurefy - an advisor to corporates and not-for-profits, mainly on AI solutions

  • the Global REIT Alliance, which was launched in Stockholm in September 2025.

  • experimental research (please see my research themes and projects)

  • a website called reitplanet.com - currently in build mode

  • blogs, public speaking and private briefings.

I split my time equally between Sydney, Asia and beyond.

Speaking engagements - recent and forthcoming…
