Biography

Fernando Demaria is a renowned Chilean motocross and enduro athlete whose career reflects elite performance, resilience, and reinvention. A gold and silver medalist at world championships in Mexico and Finland, he reached the pinnacle of international competition before a life-changing accident in 2012 left him a C5-level tetraplegic at just 19. Rather than retreat, Fernando transformed adversity into purpose. Today, he is a successful entrepreneur producing large-scale sporting events, a sought-after motivational speaker for companies and institutions, and a powerful digital communicator with more than 1.2 million followers worldwide. Demonstrating relentless determination, he returned to extreme sports, competing in multiple editions of the Desafío del Desierto in an adapted buggy. Fernando’s story inspires audiences to rethink limits, embrace resilience, and pursue excellence despite uncertainty—proving that mindset, discipline, and courage can redefine what is possible for leaders, teams, and communities seeking hope, performance, and human potential.
