With three gold medals in rowing at three consecutive Olympic Games (2008 / 2012 / 2016), Pete secured his first of five World Championship titles less than four years after starting the sport.
With a 17-year rowing career, he also secured two Oxford Blues and is one of only 14 Team GB Olympians to stay at the top of his sport for so long.
A serving Royal Navy officer since 1999, Pete retired from rowing in 2018 to resume public service at sea. In 2019, he had a spinal stroke resulting in full-time wheelchair use.
Pete has since used his military training and Olympic experience to get the best from his changed life circumstances and help others to do the same. He speaks openly about his unique insight into overcoming adversity and trauma having learned that resilience is not a given trait, but is trainable for everyone.
In 2022, he left active service in the Royal Navy and was given the rare honour of being made an Honorary Captain. Pete has used his time since to promote for disability rights and access including successfully campaigning for Transport for London to add green wheelchair users to traffic lights.
Pete’s greatest personal passions are his wife Jeannie, son Freddie, photography, travel and anything active!
The skills it takes to break an Olympic and world record
From Olympic Champion to disability advocate
Single-minded focus, creating cultures that thrive and team-building
A huge thank you to Pete Reed for this morning. He was outstanding – nothing but positive feedback from people who are inspired, moved and in awe of him and his journey.
Hearing from someone who has been a world class performer but has also had to deal with adversity in the most extreme of circumstances. These talks usually have someone who has had one or the other but it felt quite unique to hear from someone who had both.
