Dr. Pablo Erat is a successful serial entrepreneur and partner at Pioneering Ventures who
in the age of 34 decided to radically change his habits and start living a more healthy and
blissful life. On this journey, Pablo discovered endurance training and became a passionate
triathlete.
Despite a demanding job, including long working hours, extensive responsibility, and heavy
travel, Pablo managed to transform himself from an unhealthy business professional to a
multiple amateur Ironman champion with a personal best of 8 hours and 50 minutes.
Over the past 10 years, Pablo has completed 20 full distance Ironman races, participated 5
times at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships, became European Champion in long-
distance triathlon and – together with his wife Lucia – became Swiss Champion in ultra-
marathon cycling.
