“The most important is not my adventure itself, but the learnings I received from it, and what I can in return teach and transmit to others as a mentor and an example: going further and looking for other things in life that make you move inside, things that makes you feel alive.”

— Cyril Derreumaux

HR Virginia is excited to announce our first keynote speaker for the 2025 HR Virginia Annual State Conference – Cyril Derreumaux! A sought after keynote and motivational speaker, Cyril draws on his unique experience of adventure, positive mindset and natural love of life to craft unique talks that impact and challenge his audience. Cyril is not just in it to win it. He is in it to expand limits, to rise to the occasion, to redefine possible, and to share what he has learned.

Cyril Derreumaux has been presenting his adventures and life’s philosophy for years. Captivating audiences with exciting, inspiring, and insightful keynotes. With close client collaboration he can customize his expertise to align with client goals and objectives to create an engaging audience experience.

He demonstrates the power of passion and energizes his audiences with messages delivered with authenticity and true emotions. He is relatable, down to earth, and spontaneous. Cyril’s infectious enthusiasm and positive energy for life leaves his audiences with a head full of dreams and ambitious thoughts for months.

Cyril will speak to us about following our dreams, ambitions, and visions, and when he joins us in April, he will have first-hand experience to share. In December 2024, Cyril began a solo-kayaking journey – crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to Martinique! He will be fresh off his journey when he comes to our conference. In fact, you can track his journey here! CYRIL DERREUMAUX – Solo, Unsupported, Human-powered
