Jez Ivens | VC Leader

HISTORY

After studying Engineering Surveying at University in Nottingham, I worked on an oil platform in the North Sea. It was not long before I realized there was more to life than working offshore!

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Nepal & closer to home: Czech Republic, Norway and the other usual European Countries
Climbed Mont Blanc, numerous Volcanoes in Patagonia, trekked to Everest Base Camp and a solo ascent of Aconcagua 6959m, highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere.
Qualified Mountain Leader
Now in my 6th year with VentureCo, my passion for South America led me to purchase property in Argentina where I spend my time between trips.

BEST THING ABOUT BEING A VC LEADER

Thinking about all the people in the real world, going to work in an office every morning.

FAVOURITE PROJECT

Building a community house in the cloud forest in Wapù, Ecuador; not only for the friendly local people, but also for the all girl group of venturers!

FAVOURITE TREK

Torres del Paine Circuit on the Patagonia Venture, because it’s in Patagonia, the most beautiful place in the world.
