It’s Wednesday morning in Singapore and I’m lacing up my running shoes getting ready for an early morning run with Ludvig before starting the day’s series of customer and partner meetings. As I switch on CNN in my hotel room, the headlines state, “Breaking News: 7.8 Earthquake in Indonesia – Tsunami Watch in Effect”. After [...]

I had a plan to complete a trifecta of the highest mountains in North America (Denali), South America (Aconcagua) and Continental US (Whitney). The first two were completed and summited in 2008 and Whitney at 14, 505′ could have easily been climbed in the summer – without attempting a winter assault. But that would have [...]

I just read an interview with “management guru” Jim Collins (who wrote Built to Last and Good to Great) where he compares management and leadership of companies to climbing.

The day started out poorly. After getting into the Ljubljana airport around midnight and getting to the hotel in the city center around 1am, I set the alarm on one of my phones to get up at 0630, in time to check email, shower and get dressed for early breakfast meeting and then off to [...]

Having arrived in Dusseldorf this morning, I had a few hours to get some breakfast, catch up on email, short nap and get in a run near the hotel where I’m staying. I decided that on this trip I would try to run at least 10km along the major rivers of Europe. If I could [...]
