Peter previously served in the Army and has been with Barclays for three years. He began working in an advisory and strategy role before taking his present role in business management for Barclays Payments. He thinks the adaptability he learned in the Army has been key to his progression here. “When I went through a career transition programme, I was pointed to Barclays. I went to the AFTER programme’s Talent Day, and I was blown away. It was much more exciting than I’d thought, with so many options. I decided this was the game plan.” Peter Griffiths Business Management & Insights, Barclaycard
