Peter Flack
Peter Hamilton Flack is a South African lawyer, businessman and conservationist.
Biography
He studied and worked as a corporate lawyer in the United Kingdom, the United States and South Africa. In his mid thirties, he changed careers and became the CEO of the largest mining contracting company in Africa and, ten years later, accepted an offer to lead one of the world’s largest gold mining groups. After retiring from mining, he and two partners formed what was to become the leading turnaround company in Africa.
Throughout this time, Flack has been involved in wildlife and wildlife habitats. He has participated in the conversion of an eroded and bankrupt goat farm into a model working game ranch.
He has produced eight books, seven films, hundreds of magazine articles and many hunting trips to some 15 African countries.
