With a thrill for adventure and the unknown, having climbed 5 of the world’s highest summits, completed ironman and run 6 marathons across the Sahara Desert, Deri Llewellyn-Davies has a deep belief that anything is possible.

As a No1 best-selling author of Strategy on a Page and Life’s great adventure, Board advisor, international speaker and mentor, Deri has been shaping attitudes and ideas in business for over three decades and his unique methodologies and theories have been adopted in board rooms around the world. Through his work, he has uncovered what it takes to be a strategic leader and how to turn inspiration into meaningful change.

Having advised over 327 boards, Deri has accumulated all he has learnt and turned his attention to co-founding Freedom Founders. This is a deeply connected global community of  ambitious founders with programmes and curriculums designed to support their journey through navigating the unique challenges of scaling their businesses, ultimately inspiring and empowering them to succeed in business and life.

Deri lives near Malvern with his family and is a proud dad to four children, 4 chickens, 2 dogs. He continues his life of adventure and is currently planning for Everest 2027 and some new world record attempts with Project Cant.
