Peter Casier

Studied psychology, graduated as a graphical engineer, worked in an ecology lab at the university. Turned a computer hobby into my profession. 10 years of hitech companies later, got bored and went to the Antarctic. Made my profession out of another hobby: ham radio. Started as a telecom technician for the International Red Cross. Got hooked onto the humanitarian call. Worked for different UN agencies and NGOs. Lived in emergencies. Floods, earthquakes and mostly wars.

Fifteen years later, gasped for air and sailed the Atlantic. Wrote a book. Discovered the power of blogs, social media and crowd sourcing. Got hooked as a hobby, and turned it into my profession, full-time consulting on online media for nonprofits.

Since 2018, I went back to my roots, heading a UN interagency team which coordinates staff security telecommunications services globally.

And I keep on sailing, of course.
