Our Mission
Monumental is the private leadership network that supports senior male leaders through the transitions that define careers and lives.
From relationship breakdown to divorce, bereavement, different stages of fatherhood, moving abroad, promotion, redundancy and retirement, these shifts don't just alter circumstances, they reshape identity, often impacting performance and retention.
While 86% of male leaders have no trusted network beyond the workplace, Monumental provides a confidential, high-performance environment where executives can navigate change with resilience, accountability, and clarity.
No ego. No posturing.
Just the support required to sustain exceptional leadership and long-term impact.

Monumental Leadership
Pete Hunt
Monumental Founder & Host of The Monumental Podcast
Pete Hunt began his career in real estate, working with JLL, Knight Frank, CBRE, and Bank of America, where he executed over $500 million in commercial property deals before the age of 30 in London and Hong Kong. He later raised over $16 million for private equity projects in Asia. Despite his success, Pete felt a different calling and, in 2012, began exploring personal development. This journey led him to create Monumental, addressing the significant lack of networks for male business leaders to address their personal development (which impacts their professional lives so heavily). Since then, he has facilitated over 600 meetings, including summits in the UK and Internationally. Pete has been featured in The Sunday Times, The Independent, The Spectator, and The Week. Pete is also a meditation teacher and host of The Monumental Podcast, where he has spoken with guests such as Sir Jeremy Hunt, Sir Andrew Strauss, Sir Steve Redgrave, Daniel Priestley, Simon Squibb, Kenton Cool and Tim Henman OBE. Pete lives in Seaview on the Isle of Wight with his wife and two daughters.
