By 1999, he had accumulated approximately 30 years of service at the firm, progressing through executive positions tied to its data and retail operations. In 1980, Peace co-founded CCN Systems as a GUS trading focused on consumer data, which later developed into Experian plc; he assumed the role of chief executive of this entity in 1996. He joined the GUS board as a director in 1997 while leading , the group's information services arm. On October 28, 1999, GUS announced Peace's appointment as group chief executive, effective January 2000, to succeed the retiring chairman John Whitehead amid a strategic shift emphasizing the firm's information and retail assets. He retained this position until 2006, overseeing operations during a period that included the 2003 partial sale of the Argos retail stake and preparations for major demergers.

Under his as chief executive from 1991, CCN expanded internationally and positioned itself as an industry , with Peace addressing topics to executives and the . The evolution into Experian accelerated in 1996 when, as a senior GUS executive, Peace negotiated the $1.7 billion acquisition of the US-based Experian business from TRW Inc. on November 14, merging it with CCN to create a unified global entity under the Experian brand, still owned by GUS. This consolidation leveraged CCN's UK expertise in credit bureaus with US operations, forming a company focused on consumer and business credit data, marketing services, and analytics, which grew revenues significantly within GUS's portfolio. As group chief executive of GUS from 2000 to 2006, Peace spearheaded the strategic of its es, announcing on March 28, 2006, the separation of and the retail arm (later , including Argos) to unlock independent value, citing that the entities would perform better apart. The process, completed on October 10, 2006, listed on the London Stock Exchange at an initial share price of £5.60, with Peace transitioning to non-executive chairman to oversee its standalone operations under CEO .

Chairmanship of Burberry Group

John Peace was appointed non-executive chairman of on 21 June 2002, immediately following the company's and flotation from GUS plc, where Peace had served as group chief executive since 2000. Throughout his tenure, Peace oversaw periods of strategic evolution amid luxury sector competition, including support for and joint chief executive Christopher Bailey's emphasis on digital retail integration and global brand expansion. In July 2016, at the annual general meeting, Peace defended a senior management reshuffle that introduced as and restructured Bailey's role to focus on brand and innovation while ceding operational duties, arguing it positioned for sustained leadership in a fast-changing market. Peace's chairmanship encountered repeated governance challenges, particularly regarding . In July 2014, 52% of shareholders rejected Burberry's report at the annual general meeting, citing excessive awards to Bailey, including performance-unlinked shares potentially valued at £20 million, which intensified scrutiny on Peace's oversight. Similar discontent resurfaced in 2017, with investors opposing re-elections and pay structures amid concerns over Bailey's dual creative and executive responsibilities and decelerating financial performance, prompting institutional holders like Royal London Asset Management to withhold support from Peace. These pressures contributed to Peace's announcement in June 2017 of plans to depart, with the board initiating a search for a successor. He retired effective after the 12 July 2018 , concluding a 16-year term, and was succeeded by Gerry Murphy, formerly chairman of and .

Controversies

Corporate governance lapses at Standard Chartered

During John Peace's tenure as chairman of Standard Chartered PLC from February 2010 to February 2017, the bank faced significant regulatory penalties for anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance failures, highlighting deficiencies in oversight. In August 2012, U.S. authorities, including the , the Manhattan District Attorney, and the New York State Department of (NYDFS), imposed a $667 million fine on the bank for processing approximately $250 billion in transactions between 2001 and 2010 that violated U.S. sanctions against , , , and , often through deliberate concealment techniques such as stripping data of Iranian origins. These violations involved systematic efforts to evade detection rather than isolated errors, as evidenced by internal documents showing senior executives' awareness and involvement in structuring deals to bypass restrictions. Peace's public response exacerbated perceptions of governance weakness. On March 5, 2013, during the bank's , he described the sanctions breaches as mere "clerical errors" with "no wilful act to avoid sanctions," prompting sharp rebuke from NYDFS Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky, who labeled the remarks "astounding" and inconsistent with the settlement's findings of intentional . Under regulatory pressure, Peace issued a retraction and apology on , 2013, admitting the comments were "inaccurate" and reaffirming the bank's commitment to compliance, though critics argued this incident reflected poor judgment by the board in downplaying systemic control failures. The episode led to heightened scrutiny, including the imposition of an independent monitor by NYDFS in December 2012 to oversee AML remediation efforts, underscoring the board's inadequate prior of frameworks. Subsequent compliance lapses compounded these issues. In August 2014, amid ongoing monitoring, NYDFS accused the bank of further AML deficiencies, including inadequate transaction monitoring systems and failure to file timely suspicious activity reports, threatening additional penalties in the hundreds of millions and highlighting persistent shortcomings under Peace's . The bank's shares declined sharply during this period, with first-half 2014 profits dropping 20% year-over-year, fueling discontent over strategic missteps and regulatory entanglements that eroded the institution's for ethical superiority, a narrative Peace had previously championed. By 2015, shareholder pressure intensified, contributing to the departure of CEO Peter Sands and Peace's announced exit in 2017, with analysts attributing part of the blame to the chairman's reluctance to more aggressively address compliance culture and board earlier. These events collectively demonstrated lapses in enforcing robust internal controls and fostering a compliance-oriented board dynamic, as evidenced by repeated regulatory interventions and financial repercussions totaling over $1 billion in penalties during Peace's chairmanship.

Experian data and leadership challenges

During Sir John Peace's chairmanship of from 2006 to 2014, the company faced significant scrutiny over its data handling practices. In 2013, an subsidiary, Court Ventures, inadvertently provided access to sensitive consumer records of over 200 million Americans to , a Vietnamese who resold the data—including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth—to criminal networks; this lapse stemmed from inadequate verification of Ngo's credentials as a purported , allowing him to pose as a legitimate client for two years. terminated the relationship upon discovery and cooperated with authorities, leading to Ngo's 2016 guilty plea and 13-year prison sentence in the , but the incident highlighted deficiencies in subsidiary oversight and client vetting protocols. Separately, a cyber intrusion between April and September 2012 exposed a database containing personal and financial details of approximately 15 million consumers who had applied for prepaid services, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and limited credit information; disclosed the breach in October 2015, after forensic analysis confirmed unauthorized access via a server , prompting regulatory inquiries and class-action lawsuits alleging delayed notification and inadequate safeguards. Although no direct financial was immediately linked, the episode underscored ongoing risks in 's of aggregating and monetizing , with critics questioning the firm's investments relative to its £1.1 billion in 2012. Leadership challenges compounded these data-related pressures. Peace's simultaneous chairmanships of three FTSE 100 companies—Experian, Burberry, and Standard Chartered—drew criticism for potential divided attention and conflicts, with the Institute of Directors warning in July 2014 that such "serial chairmanship" undermined effective governance; this came amid shareholder revolts at all three firms, including a 12.6% opposition vote against Peace's re-election at Experian's 2014 AGM. Further controversy arose from Experian's January 2014 announcement that CEO Don Robert would immediately succeed Peace as chairman, contravening the UK Corporate Governance Code's requirement for an independent chair with no recent executive role; approximately 30% of shareholders voted against the board at the July 2014 AGM, reflecting institutional investor concerns over blurred lines between management and oversight. Peace defended the arrangement as necessary for continuity in Experian's growth phase, but it fueled perceptions of governance lapses at a time when data privacy expectations were intensifying post-GDPR precursors.

Executive compensation defenses at Burberry

During John Peace's tenure as chairman of Burberry from 2002 to 2017, the company faced significant shareholder opposition to , particularly for chief executive Christopher Bailey, prompting Peace to articulate defenses centered on talent retention and global competitiveness. In July 2014, shareholders rejected Burberry's remuneration report by 53%, protesting Bailey's package totaling approximately £20 million, which included a one-time of 500,000 shares valued at £7 million to counter external job offers, alongside his £1.1 million salary and pension contributions equivalent to 30% of salary. Peace defended the awards, emphasizing the risk of losing Bailey—Burberry's chief executive and —to competitors, stating that the company needed to "fend off the advances" of rivals in the sector to protect its and brand value. Peace further justified similar share awards to Bailey and his predecessor Angela Ahrendts as essential retention tools in a high-stakes industry where executive mobility was common, arguing that without competitive incentives, Burberry could not sustain its performance amid global expansion pressures. He expressed disappointment over the non-binding vote but committed to engagement, underscoring the board's view that such packages aligned long-term incentives with growth, as evidenced by Burberry's revenue increases under Bailey. Despite these arguments, the revolt highlighted tensions between executive rewards and perceived returns, with critics like advisory groups questioning the proportionality of pay to performance metrics. By July 2017, opposition persisted, with 32.4% of shareholders voting against the remuneration report at the annual general meeting, amid awards that nearly doubled certain executive payouts. Peace reiterated defenses rooted in market realities, stating his role with the was "to do what's right for shareholders and the " by enabling to "compete on a for talent," where luxury firms vied aggressively for scarce executive expertise. He positioned the packages as necessary for sustaining and profitability in a sector facing digital disruption and international competition, though the votes against his own reappointment reached 9%, signaling ongoing governance scrutiny. These defenses reflected Peace's broader philosophy on aligning pay with strategic imperatives, yet they did not avert advisory firm recommendations for opposition, citing insufficient linkage to underperforming share prices relative to peers.
