Jeroen Adam
Jeroen Adam operates as a HSE-manager. Before that, he dedicated his career to lead people as a unit-supervisor in the food industry. Throughout his job, he strongly believes in the added value of self-knowledge as a key to develop leadership. Both in his daily professional life and in his outdoor activities he pledges to be fully aware of the inner-self.
His vision about adventure is based on all 5 following pillars; vulnerability, awareness of self and others, responsibility, trust and self-reliance. Whit the above in mind, his expertise now stretches from many (un)successful summit attempts in the Eastern and Western Alps over winter bivouacs and hikings all over Europe, United States and the Himalayas to subarctic and arctic expeditions in Scotland, Alaska and Lapland. Nowadays the time has come for Jeroen to lend his expertise and idea’s to the Vision and Mission of BOLD.
