About Pete Nicholls
Pete has an electronics engineering degree and a background in design in the defence and aviation sector. A growing interest in data analysis subsequently led to retraining in Organisational Psychology and a pivot into corporate research and consulting, where he has held international leadership roles within IBM, Mercer, and HayGroup.
In 2013, Pete volunteered as a Dads in Distress group facilitator. With a passion for suicide prevention, he has since made Parents Beyond Breakup his main occupation and retains a handful of private ASX100 consulting clients on the side. Pete’s roles within Parents Beyond Breakup include two terms on the board (2014-17) and two terms as CEO (2017-20 and again from 2023 onwards).
As a separated dad, he has over 22 years’ experience of parental separation including as a McKenzie Friend. Pete’s greatest driver is ensuring that every mum and dad stays alive and in their kids’ lives.
About Kintsugi Heroes
Kintsugi Heroes is a community where people share their real-life stories about overcoming adversity to provide hope and inspiration to people who may be experiencing or at risk of experiencing similar challenges. Our Kintsugi Heroes have a wide variety of backgrounds across genders, cultures, languages, and ages. The hero stories are available through audio and video podcasts and in e-books and printed books.
The philosophy of Kintsugi honours life experiences both good and difficult. By highlighting the repair of cracks or breaks in a ceramic piece, the events of the past become part of its beauty. There is no attempt to conceal the damage. Kintsugi Heroes globally launched on 14 December with four conversations published covering grief, addiction, suicide ideation, health, abuse, and more.
