ABOUT
FRED FUGEN

For over 30 years and more than 20,000 jumps, I have been pushing the limits of human flight as a World Champion in freefall, a Red Bull athlete, and a Jetman pilot.

Through my talks, I share my unique experience of leadership, teamwork, and risk management, drawing strong parallels between extreme sports and the corporate world. My journey, marked by achievements, world firsts, and a powerful story of resilience following the loss of my teammate, invites everyone to dare, believe in themselves, and turn fear into action.

A talk that brings together performance, emotion, and inspiration to help teams reach new heights.

For over 10 years, I have been sharing my journey through inspiring talks that take audiences into the heart of my most remarkable adventures: jumping from the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, entering an aircraft mid-flight, and flying alongside the Patrouille de France. But beyond the spectacle, I talk about what makes these projects possible: preparation, trust, teamwork, leadership, and managing emotions in the face of uncertainty. In my talks, I draw parallels between my world and the corporate world, because whether in the sky or in business, the keys to success are the same: leadership, teamwork, trust, resilience, innovation, risk management, and adaptability. I share how extreme projects have taught me to make decisions under pressure, unite a team around a common goal, and turn individual performance into collective success. Through my stories, I explore the power of preparation, mindset, and motivation, as well as the importance of risk management to stay focused and clear-headed in high-pressure moments. I show how to turn fear into action, doubt into learning, and obstacles into opportunities. Throughout my career, I have specialized in “world firsts” which have taught me to innovate, adapt, and never give up. But my journey is also deeply human. When I lost my teammate and best friend Vince Reffet, with whom I shared 20 years of flights and friendship, I had to rebuild myself, find meaning, and keep flying. This experience taught me that resilience and passion are the true drivers to move forward, even when everything seems to collapse.

Turning fear and
uncertainty into action

Developing a mindset of innovation
and self-transcendence

Believing in your own potential
to achieve the impossible

Building resilience
in the face of change

Strengthening trust
and team cohesion

Leading with clarity and empathy
in critical moments

Today, my mission is to share these lessons to inspire teams and companies to face uncertainty with confidence, dare to act despite fear, and turn their ambitions into tangible successes.

Because in the end, whether in the sky or on the ground, the most beautiful flight is the one that brings us closer to our dreams.
