Pete Nicholls
Pete, originally an electronics design engineer in the defence and aerospace sector, later moved into organizational psychology and 'big data' analytics, working in international leadership roles at IBM, Mercer, and HayGroup. In 2013, he shifted into volunteering in suicide prevention with Parents Beyond Breakup. Pete, a single father of 24 years, has since gone on to serve two terms as both board director and CEO of PBB. His work today primarily focuses on mental health and suicide prevention in separated parents, helping them to stay engaged in their children’s lives whilst also continuing a sideline in corporate consulting to occasional ASX100 client's. Pete is also Chair of the Board at Kintsugi Heroes, another Australian charity focussed on suicide prevention through the sharing of survivor stories.
