One day in the life of Peter Fellner


by Salamander Davoudi


I always get up at 5 a.m. and eat a light breakfast. At 6.30 a.m., I am ready to leave, and my driver, Joan, drives me to work. I never do any exercise in the morning and usually read the FT and the Guardian or The Times in the car.


The morning is a busy time of day for me, and I usually have a lot of meetings. At 11 a.m., Joan often drives me to a meeting away from the office. Time in the car is useful for making phone calls.


I wait until 1 p.m. before I eat anything. I often have working lunches and usually eat fish or salad. In the afternoon, I answer my emails and organise my schedule. I go on short trips abroad about once a month.


I get home at 6.30 p.m. I sometimes make calls to America, and then I normally have time for family things. By 8.30 p.m., I am very hungry and ready to eat. I usually go to sleep around 11 p.m.
