With a background in sustainable tourism management and cultural studies, Simon has worked at the intersections of tourism, development cooperation, and environmental conservation for several years. A passionate hiker and mountain climber from an early age, his career has finally led him to Outdooractive, the world’s leading outdoor tourism platform. He manages research and innovation partnerships with a focus on sustainable regional development, visitor management, biodiversity protection, and climate action through the use of data and technology. In addition, Simon works as a freelance destination consultant, keynote speaker, and lecturer. Simon shares his time between Quito, Berlin, and the Allgäu and would really like to own a dog someday.
