Guest Speaker: Peter Whitlock
Our Guest Speaker will be Mr Peter Whitlock, Managing Director for iMotiv, an Australian organisation that provides engineering solutions for local and global clients. Their areas of specialisation are Product Development, Aftersales and Quality.
Peter graduated with a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering & Bachelor of Business Administration, Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from RMIT University in 2005.
He joined Holden in 2006 as a Graduate Engineer in the Powertrain Group at Port Melbourne. Over the next few years, he moved through the roles of Senior Design & Release Engineer – Engine Systems and Quality QRD Engineer – Transmission Systems.
During this period (2009) he was awarded the Australasian SAE Young Engineer of the Year Award. Then in 2016 he became the Regional Powertrain Quality Manager and his final role at Holden was as Aftersales Engineering Readiness Manager.
Peter left Holden in May 2020 after 14.5 years of service.
At this point, he joined Vinfast LLC as their Aftersales Engineering Manager and, after less than a year, was promoted to Director of Global Aftersales Engineering & Quality.
In 2022, Peter left Vinfast and with a group of like-minded ex-Holden Engineers, formed and kicked off iMotiv. Peter assumed the role of Managing Director and remains in that position today.
He will speak to us about his journey, about iMotiv, and how a team of ex-Holden employees managed to leverage their experiences and learnings and create a whole new business.
