Pushing Boundaries with Clarity and Precision
Known for his speed-climbing records on the Eiger, the Matterhorn, and the Grandes Jorasses, Swiss alpinist Dani Arnold is more than just a climber. He’s a thinker and strategist—someone who assesses risks, makes critical decisions, and learns from setbacks. In his keynote, titled "STEEP – TOUGH – FAST", he brings over 20 years of extreme sports experience into the business world—in a way that’s powerful, honest, and deeply inspiring.
"Whether you’re hanging on a rock face or working with data—if you want to achieve something new, you have to be willing to leave familiar paths behind," says Arnold. "It’s about having the courage to make decisions, maintaining a clear vision, and embracing uncertainty. The challenges may differ—but the principles are surprisingly similar."
Inspiration for Strategy, Transformation, and New Perspectives
In today’s data-driven business environment, Arnold’s talk offers a refreshing shift in perspective. What happens when you combine planning with intuition, boldness with precision, and curiosity with experience? That’s exactly the space where innovation thrives—whether on a mountain or in a digital project.
The World of Data is intentionally designed to spark these kinds of insights. With Dani Arnold as keynote speaker, the event is about more than showcasing technologies and methods—it’s about inspiring reflection on mindset, decision-making, and the willingness to explore new paths.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Dani Arnold,” says Caspar von Stülpnagel, Co-Managing Director of b.telligent Switzerland, the event organizer. “He challenges conventional thinking—something we urgently need in the world of data and AI: fresh ideas, clarity in the face of complexity, and the courage to stay open to innovation.”
