In Part 2 of Ticker Talk’s conversation with Peter Ivany, we explore what happened after Hoyts grew from a $70 million business into a global company worth more than $1 billion.
Peter reflects on stepping into the CEO role, navigating rapid expansion, selling Hoyts and learning how to lead through uncertainty. He also shares why the strongest businesses are built around the right people, partnerships and culture.
The conversation then moves beyond business, exploring Peter’s involvement in philanthropy, the Jewish community, the arts, medicine and the Sydney Swans.
From building resilience to backing yourself when the path forward is unclear, Peter explains why success has never simply been about money. The real reward is helping people grow, achieve and work together.
