Andreas Wiig - Digital Marketer/Advisor and Keynote speaker
I grew up near a small ski hill in Norway called Vardåsen, where I first discovered my love for snowboarding. It is a small resort, but perfect for learning the basics and trying out new tricks. As I got more involved in the sport, I began competing in local contests, which helped me build both skills and confidence. At 19, I decided to take a leap and move to the United States, hoping to follow my dream of becoming a professional snowboarder.
It wasn’t an easy path, and there were plenty of setbacks along the way. But through steady training, I gradually made progress. Over time, I was fortunate to win the X Games three times, which was a significant achievement for me and a reflection of the years of hard work.
After my snowboarding career, I completed a bachelor's degree in digital marketing. The skills I developed there have allowed me to apply a thoughtful approach to helping others, combining my experiences in both sport and business to support growth and success.
