Annabelle Bond

Annabelle Bond is a dynamic and inspirational female motivational speaker renowned for her remarkable accomplishments in mountaineering and endurance sports. Best known for climbing the highest peaks on all seven continents in just 360 days, Annabelle captured the public’s imagination as both a fearless adventurer and a passionate advocate for women’s health. Her engaging presence and ability to share powerful lessons from the extreme edge of human endurance make her a sought-after speaker. Audiences are drawn to her compelling stories of perseverance, discipline, and purpose, which she delivers with authenticity and a distinctive sense of style.

Annabelle’s path to international acclaim began when she climbed her first mountain in December 2001, and just over two years later, she summited Mount Everest with a Chilean team in May 2004, becoming only the fourth British woman ever to do so. What followed was an extraordinary feat: scaling the Seven Summits – the highest mountains on each continent – in under a year. This achievement, completed in 2005, made her the fastest woman in the world to do so and only the fourth person ever. Her courage and determination, combined with a flair for the unexpected, set her apart in the traditionally male-dominated world of extreme adventure.

In the years that followed, Annabelle continued to push boundaries. In 2006, she joined SAS Prince Albert II of Monaco on a North Pole expedition to raise awareness of climate change in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund. In 2009, she ran two self-supported 250-kilometre endurance races across the deserts of Namibia and the Sahara, raising significant funds for ovarian cancer research through the Eve Appeal, a cause close to her heart. Her efforts have raised over $1.8 million to date. Always challenging herself, Annabelle also competed in her first triathlon in Phuket in 2016, further proving her drive for continuous personal growth.

Annabelle is regularly hired as a speaker not only for her incredible accomplishments but for the insight and motivation she brings to audiences. She inspires people to pursue their goals relentlessly, embrace challenges, and remain resilient in the face of adversity. With her blend of adventure, advocacy, and elegance, she leaves a lasting impact wherever she speaks.
