About Michael Peterman
I’m an HR leader who’s spent over 30 years helping companies grow by focusing on what matters most: their people. My background spans global luxury brands, gaming & entertainment, hospitality, and cruise lines, where I’ve led HR across both corporate teams and large, distributed frontline workforces.Whether it’s launching a new ship, opening a hotel, or integrating teams after a merger, I’ve built strong cultures, developed future-ready leaders, and aligned people strategies with business goals. I enjoy taking on complex challenges—like designing performance-driven compensation models, leading organizational change, or rolling out global HR systems—and turning them into clear, people-centered solutions.What drives me is helping teams feel connected, supported, and empowered—whether they’re in a corporate HQ, a ship in the middle of the ocean, or a casino floor. I’ve led HR for thousands of employees across multiple time zones, languages, and work environments, and I bring a steady hand and thoughtful approach to every team I support.
