Louis-Philippe Loncke is an engineer with 2 management
degrees. He is a certified Divemaster with specialties in
Nitrox and Icediving. Most of his expeditions are unsupported
treks in areas seldom visited by men. He is constantly learning
about explorers & adventurers, survival techniques and
new outdoor skills. He develops lessons learned from expeditions
that can be applied to the corporate world. His 2009 expedition
was used as case study for a student in a post Master degree
in logistics. Louis-Philippe wants to improve his kayaking
and sailing skills for future expeditions and learn to fly.
