En dépit de conditions particulièrement difficiles, Orianne a finalement atteint le sommet de l’Everest (8848 mètres) en mai 2023 ( (Elle.fr, Le Messager, le Dauphiné Libéré, Le Figaro, Le Parisien, etc. s'en sont d'ailleurs fait l'écho ).
Un film documentaire, produit par la télévision et qui porte sur son histoire d'exploratrice aventurière alpiniste et spécialement son ascension de l’Everest, va sortir fin 2023-début 2024, il sera diffusé en France et à l’étranger.

Après le Lhotse (8516 mètres) en 2019, 4ème plus haut sommet du monde, l’Aconcagua (6962 mètres) en 2022, plus haut sommet des Amériques, cette ascension du toit du monde constitue une nouvelle étape vers l’accomplissement de son projet du Grand Chelem des Explorateurs - l’ascension du plus haut sommet de chaque continent « Seven Summits » et l’atteinte des 2 pôles à ski - , par une femme que rien ne prédisposait, au contraire, à réaliser de tels défis.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

One Story of Resilience & Self-Leadership
Inspiration - Leadership - Resilience -Motivation - Crisis - Management

Orianne Aymard captivates audiences with a keynote that embodies resilience, determination, and the ability to overcome life’s toughest challenges. At just 25, while in North India, she suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage, with doctors predicting she would never return to the high mountains she loved.

Refusing to accept this prognosis, Orianne embarked on an extraordinary journey of recovery and achievement. Against all odds, she scaled two of the world’s most iconic peaks: Lhotse (8,516m) and Everest (8,848m), known as Chomolungma, the Mother Goddess of the world.

Through vivid and heartfelt storytelling, Orianne shares the defining moments of her journey—her doubts, struggles, and triumphs. Her keynote offers practical and profound lessons on resilience, self-transcendence, and navigating crises with courage.
Orianne’s story inspires audiences to face their own challenges and to believe in the possibility of achieving what once seemed unattainable.

Orianne Aymard is a highly accomplished and multifaceted individual with a diverse career that spans diplomacy, humanitarian work, academia, and adventure.

She also contributed to addressing global challenges such as religious tensions, extremism, and human rights through her work with the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

Orianne holds a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the Université of Québec in Montréal and an MSc in Social Policy from the London School of Economics. A Visiting Scholar at Columbia University, she has authored several books, including When a Goddess Dies (Oxford University Press), Sous l’œil de la Déesse (Mont-Blanc Editions), recounting her ascent of Lhotse, and Au cœur de l'Everest (“To the Heart of Everest”, Mareuil Editions), detailing her climb of Everest and survival of a serac fall. She now lives in Chamonix and was the subject of the documentary “Everest, the Mother Goddess”.

“Orianne is a great keynote speaker. Her story is exceptional and will help you to think out of the box, beyond the traditional business approach.
