    PIERRE MORAND’S KEYNOTES in DUBAI and ABU DHABI

    Conférences de Pierre Morand usr la motivation et le leadership par UnoMe le Swiss Speakers' bureau

    Pierre Morand est un chef d’entreprise et un alpiniste hors pair. Il a su mêler son esprit d’entrepreneur et sa soif de conquête de la montagne, que ce soit en alpinisme ou en ski de descente extrême.

    Il a dirigé jusqu’en 2008 une entreprise patrimoniale dans la construction métallique : Morand, construction métallique à Meyrin, en Suisse. Puis il a créé une nouvelle société dédiée à sa passion de l’escalade : Grimper.ch.

    Mais en parallèle à cette vie d’entrepreneur, il a consacré une grande part de sa vie à l’alpinisme, à la conquête des plus hauts sommets d’Europe et du monde. Il est d’ailleurs certifié Guide de Haute Montagne UIAGM dès les années 90.

    Il commence ses ascensions dès 1974 : Grandes Jorasses éperon Walker, directe éperon Croz, le Mont Blanc pilier central du Frêney, pilier d’Angle… Puis à partir des 1979 il s’attaque à des sommets outre-atlantique tels que Baffin Island (escalade rocheuses), Bugaboo ou les fameuses falaises du Yosemite (Nose, Salathé, Halfdome…) et en Amérique du Sud au Pérou dans la Cordillère Blanche. Evidemment, l’Himalaya n’échappe pas à son palmarès puisque il le gravit maintes et maintes fois entre 1982 et 2014.

    Il va passer ces trente dernières années à accumuler les exploits en haute montagne mais il se consacre aussi au ski de pentes raides dans les Alpes et dans le monde

    Son amour de la montagne, son esprit d’entreprise font de lui un conférencier de grande qualité pour motiver une assemblée.

    Apprendre d’un passionné de la montagne et de l’entreprise

    Pierre Morand pourra partager son expertise de l’environnement de l’entreprise et son expertise technique de l’alpinisme et du ski de descente. Les exploits qu’il a accompli et son tempérament bien trempé font de lui un conférencier qui saura susciter la motivation chez son auditoire.

    In parallel with this, he was deputy head of the biology and medicine faculty at the University of Lausanne from 2002 to 2006 and then deputy rector of the research university and of international relations until 2016.

    During his 10 years at the head of the University, he actively encouraged inter-disciplinary research between quantitative and human sciences, both, at national and international levels. He organised the World Knowledge Dialogue, the academic discussion with the Dalai Lama and the 17th Karmapa and jointly organised the TEDxLausanne conference.

    His own research subjects cover pathogenesis and the ecology of Gram positive bacteria, bacterial infections in both, humans and animals, and the resistance of antibiotics. His current preoccupation is to revisit the problem of antimicrobial resistance and to develop new strategies in this area, such as phagotherapy.

    In addition to his responsibilities at the University, he is the vice-president of the Swiss Academy of Natural Sciences, board member of the ISREC Foundation (Swiss Institute for Cancer Research) and a member of the scientific committee of the Leenaards Foundation.

    GÉRALDINE FASNACHT’S KEYNOTES in DUBAI and ABU DHABI

    Hailing from the Vaud region, Géraldine Fasnacht discovered the mountains in her early childhood and soon developed a passionfor snowboarding, practising on the slopes at Verbier. It was not long before her efforts were rewarded, when she won the Xtreme Verbier in 2002 andsaw herself propelled into an extraordinary professional career.

    With a thirst for freedom, along with the sense of no limits that snowboarding had to offer, Géraldine spent 12 years in the toughbut exciting competitive arena, including 8 years on the Freeride World Tourcircuit.

    But beyond all of this, it was the thought of carving fresh lines and plotting new routes across the mountain that brought her spiritalive. Cutting furrows through the snow, Géraldine began to dream of flying and switching to a different dimension. At the age of 18, she set herself the taskof literally learning to fly. First through parachuting (putting over 300 jumps to her name), and then through free falling and B.A.S.E jumping (parachuting from Buildings, Antennas, Spans or Earth). For Géraldine, this would mean taking off from cliffs in the mountains.

    She has also spent time discovering the world, exploring new environments to learn more about other peoples and cultures, as well as travelling to icy climes andtrekking to both, poles.

    It was not until 2001 that Géraldine put on her first wingsuit and began to fly. And after 10 years of intensive training and practice, she finally became the « birdwoman ». She has also opened up new flying routes, such as the Cervin summit in June 2014. The aim of this discipline is to stay in the air for aslong as possible and to cover the longest distance.

    Should there ever come a day when humans learn to fly with their own wings, we will certainly have Géraldine to thank.

    Learn from a Snowboarder and Bird Woman

    Géraldine is a talented speaker who is eager to share her passion with others.

    Yet when she recounts her adventures, she always endeavours to make her audience aware of the importance of risk management, firmly believing that success in extreme sports must never involve taking too many high risks.

    Géraldine can hold conferences on personal motivation and fulfilling potential or, quite simply, on her own adventures.
