About Bruno Baumann
Bruno Baumann uniquely combines adventure, science and storytelling. His expeditions have taken him to the most remote corners of the earth – from the Sahara to the Himalayas to the Taklamakan. His solo crossing of the Gobi Desert, a feat long considered impossible, became legendary. Equally spectacular was the first exploration of Sutley Canyon in Tibet, where he and his team discovered the remains of a legendary kingdom.
Der SPIEGEL called him the ‘Schliemann of the 21st century’.
As an author, Baumann has written over a dozen books, including bestsellers such as “Zwischen Himmel und Erde” (‘Between Heaven and Earth’) or „Kailash – Tibets heiliger Berg“ (‘Kailash – Tibet’s sacred mountain’), and has published reports in GEO and National Geographic. His documentaries reach an audience of millions on TV. In his lectures, he builds a bridge between extreme experiences and the modern corporate world: How can you stay focused under the most adverse conditions? What really strengthens a team? And why is vision the key to motivation?
His lectures inspire with visually stunning presentations, authentic stories and profound insights – for managers, teams and anyone who wants to be inspired to surpass themselves.
