What parallels exist between extreme sports and negotiations? BGPartner has researched, analyzed and compared. The interview between our partner Alain P. Röthlisberger and Kiwi Fondue rower Alex Gammeter provides amazing insights.
"The World's Toughest Row" is the ultimate rowing competition across the Pacific ocean. 14 teams gather to test themselves against mother nature and to compete the 4,500 kilometers from California to Hawaii.
Kiwi Fondue won the race with an incredible lead of 224 kilometers over the second placed team. After more than 1.5 million strokes, the world record was also broken. Never before had a rowing boat gone faster from the US mainland to Hawaii. BGPartner is proud to be a partner of the Swiss Kiwi Fondue Team.
