Peter Bakker is a commercially-minded technology leader and fractional CTO with 20+ years of experience translating complex systems into clear, outcome-driven products across fintech, agribusiness and eCommerce. He has led end-to-end digital transformations—ERP, CRM, customer portals—and built an AI-driven freight costing engine that shifted pricing to margin-optimised models at Muirs. As co-founder of Unhedged he raised early funding to apply AI/ML to live portfolio management, blending algorithmic strategies like hierarchical risk parity and momentum for retail investors. Equally at home in boardroom strategy, UX design and hands-on Python, he operates as a business partner who aligns incentives, product architecture and operations to measurable results. Based in Greater Melbourne and educated at INSEAD and Erasmus, he brings rare cross-functional fluency from startup founding to running large P&L and transformation programs. An early entrepreneur (started a business at age 8) who still codes and ships, he focuses on strategic tech problems and founder enablement that actually stick.
