Berrick Wilson is a highly accomplished individual whose achievements span both the realms of business and philanthropy. Renowned for his dedication and selflessness, Wilson’s journey encompasses success in the corporate world as well as his unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of others.

Wilson is the founding partner and National Head of KordaMentha Real Estate, a prominent position that attests to his expertise as one of Australia’s leading property specialists. Additionally, he holds the role of Managing Director of KordaMentha Investment Management, further solidifying his reputation as a highly regarded figure in the industry.

However, it was a personal experience that sparked a profound transformation in Wilson’s life. When his daughter Milla was rushed to the hospital with a brain haemorrhage at just two days old, Wilson and his wife Caroline were faced with immense stress and uncertainty. Thankfully, Milla made a full recovery, and it was during this challenging time that Wilson made a promise to channel their experience into something meaningful and beneficial for others.

Thus, the Chain Reaction Challenge Foundation was born. Wilson fulfilled his pledge by establishing this long-distance cycling event, specifically targeting senior executives with a passion for cycling to raise funds for critically ill children. Since its inception in 2007, the foundation has served as a force for good, raising an astonishing $37 million for sick children.

Wilson’s dedication to philanthropy and his unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others have earned him widespread admiration and respect. His ability to harness personal adversity and transform it into a catalyst for change showcases his extraordinary resilience and compassion. His enduring legacy as a successful business leader and a champion of philanthropy will continue to inspire others to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
