I had the privilege of working with Peter Varga during a complex and transformative time at Exxon, as we transitioned to a global outsourcing model for Benefits and Payroll services with Strada. Peter’s expertise and leadership in designing the project approach and executing the pilot items were invaluable in ensuring a smooth and successful implementation of change across multiple countries.

Throughout our collaboration, Peter consistently demonstrated professionalism, an understanding of the project’s complexity, and a genuine dedication to the project. His ability to lead the team to take action from feedback and collaborate seamlessly, ensured that our collective efforts were aligned and efficient. I value our partnership and look forward to the opportunity to work with Peter again in the future.

Patusiree Charanvatnakit, Workforce Enablement Project Advisor, was Peter’s client ​
I worked with Peter for two years. During that time he managed the EMEA HR operations team. I found Peter to be technically very skilled with great ability to understand complex issues. His insights, solution oriented attitude and humor helped the team through difficult times. While being a team player in cross regional projects, Peter was also a mentor to his direct reports always ready to help.

Dora Siminszky, Head of EMEA, LATAM & APAC HR Operations, managed Peter
I had the privilege of working alongside Peter during several years at Alight/Strada and I can confidently say Peter is one of the most talented and dedicated professional I’ve encountered.
From day one, Peter demonstrated exceptional keq qualities: leadership, problem-solving, technical expertise on Benefits and, most important, a great and constant sense of humor, which always helps to keep distance from BAU issues.
Whether working with internal teams or engaging with clients, Peter consistently brought energy, innovative thinking and DRIVE to every new opportunity.
Beyond his professional skills, Peter is a person of integrity and positivity – someone who inspires those around them and makes the workplace better for everyone.

Peter is a seasoned professional, his expertise covers all areas of HR operations and project management from HR administration, compensation and benefits and payroll as well.

He understands the complexities of the different countries, with great empathy and expert knowledge he has been able to promote and execute the global model successfully across the region. He has been a great partner to have inspiring professional discussions with, he has a growth mindset, open to new ideas coming from his team members and always looking for  process simplification and improvement opportunities.

Melinda Bozsik, EMEA HR Shared Services Migrations and Reengineering Lead, worked with Peter in same and different teams
Peter is a reliable, knowledgeable and proactive Benefits expert. He is capable of breaking down large, complex issues in the heart of benefits into digestible chunks that clients understand. He backs this up with a wealth of solutions that he can implement to resolve challenges faced by clients and is very solution-focused. He's a definite team player, responsible and driven, and I would be very happy to have him on my team supporting me.

Peter Ayres, Business Consultant Senior Manager, worked with Peter
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Peter, and his benefits expertise has been instrumental in winning clients, implementing new services and providing valuable input for product development. He has a strategic mindset and a knack for turning ideas into real, impactful solutions. Beyond his skills, Peter is also great to work with – collaborative, insightful, and always bringing a positive energy to the team. If you are looking for someone who delivers results and makes the process enjoyable, Peter is a fantastic choice

Tim Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer, was senior to Peter 
I have had the pleasure to work with Peter in 2023 when he joined the Alight Advisory Team for the DACH Region. I really liked how fast he was able to integrate into the DACH Advisory team and the global Advisory team and as well how rapidly he built up his network with colleagues in other business lines. His proactive approach, be it with respect to driving projects, developing new methodology and taking over team lead responsibility after only a short time with the company is admirable. Peter has proven to be a very important asset to the Advisory team and also brings a wide experience in people as well as business management to the DACH team but also to the global Advisory team.
