As part of its Distinguished Guest Lecture Series, MCI was honored to welcome the long-term CEO of Dynafit, extreme mountaineer and WWF Ambassador Benedikt Böhm.

He captivated the students with his talk “Out of the Death Zone – Succeeding in Mountaineering and Business.” He drew striking parallels between his two passions, extreme sports—scaling 8,000-meter peaks and skiing down without supplemental oxygen—and running his business. He emphasized that the key to success lies in proper preparation, the art of minimalism, precisely coordinated steps, and quick adaptability—whether in the mountains or in business.
Benedikt Böhm was until recently CEO of DYNAFIT, which he built from scratch into a multinational player with a strong brand in the sports and adventure community. In addition to his new company Lupine Lighting Systems, North America, he is an extreme mountaineer who climbs the highest peaks in the world and skis down from there within 24 hours.
Our students share their experiences and give insights into courses, projects, and student life in the vibrant Alpine city of Innsbruck.
