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.
As the founder of Evolve Meetings, Rex has spent more than two decades working with global organizations to help leaders align vision, strategy, and culture. His programs blend immersive simulations, storytelling, and facilitation to turn inspiration into action.
Recognized for his authenticity and captivating style, Rex is award winning and consistently earns top ratings from audiences around the world. His sessions leave people not just inspired—but equipped with practical tools to build trust, make better decisions under pressure, and lead through change.
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.
““This was the best training I have ever attended. I can take this learning and apply it directly to my team and home life”.”
