Having Peter as my coach and continued mentor has been rewarding in so many ways. I had the privilege to benefit from his
incredible coaching skills when I transitioned to a new role in the C-suite.
Peter possesses both an extensive business background and extensive coaching training. This rare combination and his
passion for helping others makes him uniquely positioned to lead others to personal transformation. Peter is a phenomenal
listener and through deep engagement, guided me in learning to communicate more clearly with impact and further
developing my leadership skills. This has helped me to engage with my peers effectively and build effective relationships. He
used solution-focused questioning to guide me through effective approaches for problem solving.
Through Peter’s help and advice, I have grown confident in acting on different approaches when creating strategies that
impact my organization. His style of coaching encourages self-reflection to identify and correct blind spots and taking the time
to consider issues from new angles. Partnering with Peter as my executive coach has changed me as a leader. I highly
recommend him.

It was an honor to work with Peter for many years. He made everyone around him better at their jobs. His insight, expertise,
and experience were invaluable for HBO as he charted our long-term financial strategies and deal negotiations. He could see
three steps ahead of everyone else, and we wouldn't have achieved the level of success we did without Peter at the table. For
as much of a whiz as Peter is with the financials, he's an even better human being. He's one of the most genuine and sincere
people you'll ever know.

I had the privilege of working with Peter while at HBO and would like to enumerate a few of the qualities that made Peter a
really great advisor, leader and colleague. Peter was highly regarded across the organization for the thorough analysis that he
and his team provided in order to present creative and tailored deal structures to align with the strategic goal unique to each
deal negotiation. Those of us who worked with him consistently benefited from his ability to patiently explain complex
structures and for his clear recommendations in helping shape informed decisions. He was an instrumental part of each big
deal negotiation and widely regarded as a trusted business advisor to provide practical solutions to issues that arose as part of
each deal discussion. He was effective in his role because he has incredible experience in the industry, thorough knowledge of
the current landscape and a talent at identifying trends. Equally importantly, he could be relied on to maintain a calm
demeanor through even the most intense of negotiations.
He was also great at creating and building a team of all-stars that reflected the same rigor to analysis and were consistently
key partners to the deal teams. He developed some very talented finance colleagues in his team who continue to serve of
great value to the organization. He knew just the right balance between providing analysis and guidance himself and allowing
junior members to take on increasing responsibility on their own. I can personally attest to his respectful behavior and
approachability to everyone in the company, regardless of whether they were upper management, peers or more junior to
him in the company.
Lastly, I would like to note that he was a delightful colleague, due in part to his enthusiasm across a spectrum of topics such as
travel, world events, current culture, music, fitness…. and the list goes on. He truly is an authentic individual gifted with a
terrific sense of humor. Those of us who worked with him closely were lucky to learn from him and to be able to call him a
friend.

I had the great fortune of working with Peter at HBO for more than 6 years. He was an invaluable partner on each deal, using
his intelligence and talent to help create financial structures to suit any strategy. Because of his vast experience at HBO, he
was able to contribute his amazing knowledge of prior deals while remaining open to new ideas. That, without a doubt,
helped us succeed in a rapidly-changing industry.
But more importantly to me, he was just an excellent colleague - so generous with his time and advice and incredibly patient
with newcomers like me. Peter was always willing to spend extra time with me explaining complicated deal mechanics or
giving helpful historical context. And because of his easy-going nature and ego-free approach, each time felt less like a
business lesson and more like a conversation between two friends. I miss working with Peter and think anyone should jump at
the chance to do so.

Peter has been my professional coach for several months. Through his remarkable listening skills, he has helped me focus my
career goals and methodically take actions to improve the level of satisfaction in my current role. He has an unassuming
manner of challenging his clients to reevaluate their approach to difficult situations and develop new and more effective
solutions. I highly recommend him.

It is rare to encounter a person so unwaveringly committed to solving problems with the good of the enterprise in mind,
rather than his own reputation or standing. Peter Accettura is such a person.
Exhaustive in his diagnostic preparation, objective in his deliberations, and unflappable in the face of challenge and push-back,
Peter‘s counsel was regularly sought out at the highest levels within the organization and on the most sensitive of subjects.
His was a reputation as a trusted and informed analyst and strategist, someone who could be counted on to represent
complex exercises plainly, offering clear and concise risk/benefit analyses, and thoughtful recommendations. Held in high
esteem as a financial counselor internally, he proved a valued colleague among HBO’s clients as well. Clients knew Peter to be
fair and informed, straightforward, and committed to mutually beneficial outcomes during complicated and often contentious
contract negotiations — always with grace and authenticity.
I would turn to Peter for counsel on any number of matters, both practical and delicate, and recommend him to anyone in
search of an advocate who operates with the highest degree of integrity and smarts, whether on the subject of long-range
financial planning, business strategy and best practices, or professional development in his areas of expertise.
