Rex Pemberton
Adventurer. Innovator.
Leader in Transformation.
Rex Pemberton is an adventurer, innovator, and leadership facilitator whose life is defined by pushing boundaries—of altitude, performance, and possibility.
At just 21, he became the youngest Australian to summit Mount Everest, later joining the elite ranks of the world’s youngest to complete the Seven Summits. Not content to stop at the world’s highest peaks, Rex turned his eyes skyward—pioneering wingsuit flight, BASE jumping, and even designing and flying a jet-powered carbon-fiber wingsuit.
Across every ascent and flight runs a single thread: a passion for transforming lessons from extreme environments into insights that help people lead, adapt, and perform in times of disruption.

Relentlessly evolving, Rex continues to pursue new frontiers—guiding international business teams and exploring the balance between risk and innovation, on the mountain, in the skies, and in the boardroom.
