Clemens was born in the Austrian Alps and is now based in Brussels. In between: more than a decade navigating the depths of global consulting in a Big 4 firm and in a global financial institution. Leading projects and teams across Vienna, Frankfurt, London, Brussels, Asia, and the Middle East of up to 30 people and seven-digit budgets. Complex compliance, change, and transformation programs at large-scale organisations.
In 2022, he left his corporate career to follow his dream and build something of his own.
Today he wears many hats:
– Entrepreneur and Experience Designer
– Certified Coach (ICF ACC) and Walking Mentor
– Leadership and Learning Facilitator
– Consultant, Ultra-Hiker, Adventurer, and Author
– Dad to a daughter who teaches him more than all of the above combined
Throughout his corporate career and as a founder, he has facilitated hundreds of workshops and experiences for corporate teams and individuals across Europe – for organisations ranging from global financial institutions to the European Commission and the UN. And he learned one universal truth: the best thinking in all of those sessions rarely happened at a desk or fancy meeting room.
He believes that transformation cannot be taught. It can only be discovered – ideally on a small or big adventure and with a dash of humour. His job is to design the conditions that make discovery possible. And those conditions almost always involve walking and nature as a core element. In a world where everything is available at the click of a button, and AI starts to dominate our lives more and more, walking and nature are the antidote to technology and disconnection.
What this looks like in practice:
– Walking Mentorship embedded into leadership and corporate offsites as well as conferences
– Night hikes and netwalkings across European cities
– Walkshops and outdoor team experiences
– Individual mentoring & coaching for people navigating big decisions
– A Substack on courage, entrepreneurship, and adventure
– A book – Misogi Mindset: Transforming Lives, One Adventure at a Time – born from a solo 160-kilometre ultra-hike through Belgium
“Choose Courage over Comfort” is the principle he follows in how he runs his business, designs his programmes, and lives his life.
