Coopers Net­work­ing Apéro with Paul Niel

Last Thursday we held our Coopers Networking Apéro with our Special Guest Paul Niel. Our guests were a diverse group of IT Professionals, Line Managers and HR representatives from many different industries.

Our speaker Paul Nieal is a mountaineer, future thinker and entrepreneur. Born in a small village in Lower Austria, Paul studied Statistics in Vienna and Sydney. Having worked for over a decade at the top level of finance, most recently in London and Hong Kong, Paul decided to change his focus in life and follow his passion.  Most recently he co-founded Peared, which develops next generation technologies for elder adults.

As a passionate explorer, his hunger for travelling and adventure has led him into more than 80 countries across the globe and to all the big mountain ranges in the world. In 2013 Paul completed the project of climbing the Seven Summits, the highest mountain on every continent. The same year he became one of only eight climbers to summit two 8000m peaks back to back (Mount Everest & Lhotse).

Paul told us about his adventures and also spoke about how to split a big problem into many small ones. It is very impressive how he is leaving his comfort zone over and over again to push his limits and discover new frontiers. Paul also showed some videos and pictures from his trip to the Mount Everest. It was breath-taking.

We would like very much to thank those of you, who attended.It was a real pleasure for us to have so many people at the event and it was nice to see all of you again. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to work with such great people. Thank you. We sincerely hope that you all had a good time and that you enjoyed the evening.

We hope to see you all again soon!
