He has skied unsupported to the North Pole, crossed the Western Sahara, trekked the Amazon and organised the first-ever expedition to the South Pole of a team with physical disabilities.

Juan’s most recent keynote presentation ‘Why Fake News Will Save Democracy’ reveals how, in an age where everything is true and nothing is true, the truth cannot be manipulated and the media always has the last word. Senor’s presentation is a fascinating and engaging narrative most relevant to any human enterprise trying to navigate its way in the age of social media relativity and instant digital opprobrium. Its lessons and insights can help any brand to remain relevant and credible.
