Adriana Brownlee

Adriana Brownlee is a woman with a passion for adventure who has made history by becoming the youngest woman ever to summit all 14 of the world's 8000m mountains. She is also the youngest British person to do so and the second British person overall. Adriana has summited two of these peaks without the use of supplemental oxygen and shows no signs of stopping. She is the current Guinness World Record holder for being the youngest woman to climb the world’s second-highest peak, K2. Having demonstrated immense mental and physical resilience, perseverance, and determination during her mountaineering feats, Adriana is now highly sought after as a motivational speaker for a range of corporate and public events.

A longstanding passion, adventure has always been at the heart of Adriana’s life. When she was just nine years old, she completed the National Three Peaks Challenge alongside her father in just 22 hours. Since then, she has completed countless summits of the world’s highest mountains. Dreaming of climbing Mount Everest since she was eight years old, that dream became a reality when she summitted Mount Everest in 2021. That same year, she also summitted Mount Manaslu and Mount Dhaulagiri, before embarking on the challenge of summitting K2 in 2022, achieving her Guinness World Record when she reached the summit on the 28th of July 2022.

In addition to her accomplishments as a mountaineer, Adriana is the founder and Director of AGA Adventures, an expedition company she established alongside her partner Gelje Sherpa. She is also an avid Ambassador of the British Inspiration Trust and a Fundraising Volunteer for the Friends of Himalayan Children Foundation. Now a motivational speaker, Adriana shares tales from her summits of the world’s highest peaks and her passion for promoting mental wellbeing. Dedicated to raising awareness of mental health in young adults, Adriana empowers people to pursue their ambitions and achieve their dreams.

When hired as a motivational speaker, Adriana focuses on topics such as working under pressure, persistence, consistency, and the power of mental strength. A seasoned speaker, she has already been hired to speak for Ernst & Young, the University of Birmingham, Fulfil Nutrition, Cairo American College, and Investis.
