Summary

Beyond the Sky is the second volume of the autobiography of global financier, philanthropist, adventurer and explorer – Per Wimmer. Described by a commentator as “ a true Indiana Jones meets 007 James Bond” figure, Wimmer’ s life story is far from ordinary and very much driven by a constant desire to push boundaries. In 2007, Wimmer founded his own investment bank, Wimmer Financial. He also supports numerous charities financially with a particular view to inspiring children to live out their dreams. His penchant for exploration and adventure has taken him to 85 countries, a world landspeed record attempt, crossing the USA on a Harley-Davidson motorbike, living with the Indians of the Amazon Forest and skydiving over Mount Everest. This second part to his story tells how Wimmer Financial became one of Europe’ s leading merchant banks in global real estate, natural resources and industrials, going on to win prestigious awards. And we read more about Wimmer’ s exploration adventures, including becoming the first Dane private citizen to fly into space on board Richard Branson’ s Virgin Galactic.
