Born and bred in wild Patagonia, Gus never allowed his small town and humble beginnings get in the way of his big dreams. A health disregard for the status quo and a severe case of fomo (fear of missing out) landed him in Australia at the young age of 17. By the age of 22, he had dropped out of uni, hitchhiked South America, set up his first business and landed his dream job at Lonely Planet. Fast forward a few years and he was leading the company globally and working with companies such as Google X, Nokia and Amazon on the latest technology, creative cultures and high performing teams. Seeking a change from corporate life as Executive Director and CTO of Lonely Planet, Gus moved back to his entrepreneurial roots, becoming an investor, founder and mentor. Today you will find Gus building robots, developing AI solutions, making 3D printed wheelchairs and investing in climate change technologies. He loves sharing a story but he loves even more knowing those stories make a difference to people. Gus crafts a transformative experience that energizes and empowers. By connecting deeply with the audience, he ensures that the lessons learned resonate on a personal level, equipping each participant with the confidence and tools needed to turn inspiration into tangible, meaningful action. While Gus is happy to speculate about the future, he brings into focus what you can control right now, to make you ready for any future.
