Lewis Pugh, renowned endurance swimmer and United Nations Patron of the Oceans, gave an inspiring keynote speech at the 15th Limassol Economic Forum, where he shared his remarkable journey of braving the most challenging waters on the planet, and drew parallels between his expeditions and the business world.

Known for his record-breaking swims in some of the most threatened ecosystems, Lewis delivered a powerful message on leadership, resilience, and the critical importance of environmental stewardship, while sharing his extraordinary experiences from the icy waters of the North Pole to a glacial lake on Mt Everest.

He highlighted the mental and physical challenges faced during his swims and the lessons learned in overcoming them – and how these can be applied to business.
