Episode 8: Climbing Mountains with Mark Heine

Mark Heine has been with Fugro since 2000 and CEO since 2018 and although gathering data about our planet has been his passion since studying geodetic engineering at Delft University, mountaineering is his first love.

At just 10 years old Mark conquered his first summit and after that he was hooked. His hobby has taken him to the top of the world’s highest peaks from El Capitan in the US to the most difficult summits in the Alps and Himalayas.

It has taught him valuable lessons about staying sharp, managing risk and the importance of friendship. In this episode Jon Baston-Pitt finds out more about the challenges he has overcome and asks: “is it lonely at the top”?
