Peter Van Der Waaij: Leading the Swiss Team with Fresh Energy, Vision and Charisma


Listen Later

In our second episode of our Swiss Special Series , we sit down with Peter Van Der Waaij, the youngest chef d’équipe leading one of the most successful showjumping teams in the world—the Swiss Elite Jumping Team. Recorded during the Longines League of Nations Final in Barcelona, we dive deep into Peter’s fascinating journey, from equestrian journalist and auction organizer to dynamic leader of a powerhouse team.

Peter shares how he manages to lead a team of top riders, many of whom are older than him, while navigating cultural and linguistic differences. He reveals what's behind the Swiss team's incredible success, from their unparalleled bond to the horsemanship that sets them apart.

But how does he manage all of that? For us it all comes down to his leadership style, energy, and charisma. Peter knows how to unite a team, and isn’t afraid to admit when he’s wrong. He has an incredible ability to inspire people and bring out their best.

For us what really matters isn’t the medals or the titles, it’s the person in front of us and getting to know Peter was inspiring and fun and we’re sure you’ll feel the same!
