Conrad Humphreys is a well know Yachtsman who has sailed around the world three times and competed at several major events including the Vendée Globe. He is also the founder and Managing Director of Sport Environment as well as founder of Blue Environment. Booked as a motivational speaker, Conrad aims to inspire audiences to be the best versions of themselves and to be better leaders.
Conrad had a successful yachting career as a teenager and at the age of 19 completed the Whitbread Round the World Race, which was the first of three round the world events he competed in. He then went on to become the youngest skipper to win the BT Global Challenge. He has also competed as a navigator in the EDC Atlantic Challenge and the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race. In 2003 he won the Transat Jacques Vabre and just two years later he became just the fifth Brit to finish the prestigious Vendée Globe. He would later compete in the La Solitaire du Figaro, the Volvo Extreme Sailing Series, and the Route du Rhum. In 2016 he took part in Channel 4’s Mutiny on the Bounty, acting as professional skipper for the 4000 miles journey between Tofua and Kupang, replicating the journey taken by Lieutenant William Bligh in 1879.
Away from sailing Conrad is the Founder and Managing Director of Sport Environment, an agency that uses sport to help companies with sponsorship sales, rights, and delivery. The company, which he started in 2001 while still competing competitively, boasts a client list including AstraZeneca, WWF, Motorola, and LG. He is also the founder of Blue Environment, a non-profit organisation set up in 2008 to manage charity events such as the Blue Mile and the Blue Project, both of which were set up to raise funds for environmental charities including the WWF.
As a motivational speaker, he draws on his experience as both a yachtsman and businessman. Telling stories from his career, he provides an engaging presentation that aims to inspire the audience. A strength of Conrad’s is that he tailors his approach and understands the needs of every business, creating a unique experience and the impacts of his speeches can be felt long term with him leaving ‘tool-kits’ to help those in attendance move forward and succeed no matter what.
