Leadership at the highest level is forged through pressure, discipline and an uncompromising drive for excellence. In this episode of Transformer CEOs, Erik Schmidt sits down with serial CEO and transformation leader Peter Horwing, CEO of Chart Learning Solutions, a fully virtual learning company run from his yacht.
Peter shares the extraordinary journey that shaped him into one of today’s most respected transformation executives. From becoming a world sailing champion at just 15, to training Olympic athletes and leading multiple corporate turnarounds across Europe, his story is one of relentless ambition, resilience and execution at the highest level.
Together, Erik and Peter explore what it truly takes to lead large-scale business transformations in a fast-moving, AI-driven world. They discuss how elite sport, military discipline and early leadership experiences shaped Peter’s values, mindset and leadership philosophy, and how those foundations now drive his approach to building high-performance cultures and scaling modern organisations.
This conversation is a masterclass in leadership, strategy and personal growth for CEOs, founders, executives and anyone serious about building world-class teams and future-ready businesses.
