Facing multiple crises and an uncertain world, our organizations have to adapt more than ever: produce better, in an increasingly demanding environment, for the benefit of the greatest number and with far fewer resources. Industry, Corporate, Business, Education & Institutions, every sector is concerned.
More than a mindset and a set of operational methods, UltraPerformance through Human Empowerment is a genuine philosophy: the right balance between the technical dimension, performance and the human dimension. A reference point, for decision-makers and everyone involved, in this profound transformation towards tomorrow’s world. It is the common thread running through all of Marc Amerigo’s keynotes: leadership, management, innovation and performance, including sustainibility, grounded in thirty years of industrial projects and world records.
Often described by my peers as an atypical engineer or a daring project leader, I quickly left a well-planned career in large groups such as Airbus or Renault.
I decided to follow my own path to embrace the industrial and sporting challenges of my choice.
My life journey allows me to build true bridges between two worlds that I am passionate about for the last 30 years:
I have extracted methods and key principles for success. This is the fruit of this cross-cultural experience and my personal thoughts.
I feel fortunate to share them on a daily basis in the management of my projects, in particular in the Zephir Project with Antoine Albeau, as well as on stage during talks or workshops with my clients.
I am very honored to be in charge of the “Leadership” course in the International Executive Master 2024-2025 at Ecole Polytechnique.
Key titles include: “Management and Leadership in an uncertain future!” “Quid de l’innovation en milieu complexe pour dépasser les limites?” “How to reconcile high performance and eco-responsibility?” “The power of the collective and human fulfillment.”
I invite you to immerse yourself in my life experiences. My practical experience of “field management” in business and industry (which resonates directly with yours) and the piloting of several world speed records in extreme sports intersect.
30 years’ experience in industry and extreme sports, several TEDx events, and currently with Antoine Albeau in the Zephir Project , which pushes back the limits of sailing speed… So many key moments that have enabled me to extract 7 real pillars, like compasses that point the way to success (discover them here).
And to ensure that this precious time spent together enables you to leave with structured and prioritized areas of work, I have developed this disruptive & collaborative workshop (link here): “strategic collaborative brainstorming” based on neuroscience and the digital tool SparkUp.
Part of the profits from these services enable me to support environmental, charitable, sporting and educational causes.
A true demonstrator of my vision of the organizations of tomorrow, the Zephir project is an immense challenge for the next 3 years.
Our goal is to unveil the secrets of absolute glide with a sail. Our double purpose is to contribute to the eco-responsible world of tomorrow, and to reach new sailing speed world records, by revolutionizing windsurfing and watersports (65.45 knots (121 kph) currently held by boats).
I am sharing this adventure with a high-level athlete, Antoine Albeau, 27 times world windsurfing champion (last world title on May 6th, 2025) and speed record holder in the discipline, he is also the most titled French sportsman. True to my philosophy of UltraPerformance, which places human fulfillment at the heart of our attention, we rely on numerous partners and an international team composed of the best in the world in their field. The Zephir Project has reached over 200 million people worldwide through media and social networks.
