AirDesign Crew

Mathilde

With a PhD in Neuroscience, nothing predestined Mathilde to become PR for AirDesign. Except maybe her consuming passion for paragliding, her tendency to tell stories and her infectious laugh. Her daily mission is to put the brand’s philosophy into words and spread the voice in four languages. Challenge accepted!

Mike

This guy could look insane on this pic but becomes very serious when talking about safety. Full time Test pilot since 2016, he works alongside Stephan. And they do complete each other: Mike is as talkative as Stephan can be silent. His best piece of advice: “you’re the pilot, don’t go if you don’t feel it.”

Nicolas

Don’t be fooled by his serious look, this dude is as crazy as the rest of the team. Workaholic and deeply passionate, Nico is the marketing & sales manager when he doesn’t come up with some quirky idea such as “we should make a superlight harness and call it Le Slip!”.

Christoph

Christoph moved from Vienna to Tyrol to join AirDesign headquarters in Absam. “To work for a paragliding company with mountains close to home is a dream come true” he said. With a Master in “Sports equipment technology” he has always had an appeal for kite and paragliding. “How a piece of tissue made of lines and nylon can become a wing is fascinating!”. This highly motivated and well prepared young man could seem innocent as a lamb but beware! He transforms into wolf when he’s hungry!

Martin

The nicest guy on earth is also a wise businessman. AirDesign CEO and cofounder, he keeps one word in mind: integrity. This is true for the product development and the relationship with partners and clients. He confides with a smile: “AD paragliders are made to create stories and memories.”

Margret

AirDesign bookkeeper’s could have been an Egyptologist and deciphered hieroglyphics. Instead, she feels much better at AD, where she keeps figures under control and guarantees the financial balance of the company.

Niko

Niko is a kid of Saint-Hilaire du Touvet, the famous flying site of the Coupe Icare. He grew up with his eyes turned to the sky. It must be said that the large bay windows of his school offered an unequivocal spectacle: the first paragliders! His thousands of hours of groundhandling give him a feeling that many pilots would envy. At AirDesign, Niko wears two hats: photographer and sales manager for the French market. Humble and talented, he’s the man for the job!

Dylan

Give this boy a paraglider! He can do whatever he wants! Groundhandling, soaring, acro, XC, … he knows it all! But the best part is that he is super nice and so humble. Dylan is the youngest of the team and is in charge of the social media together with Mathilde. Always on the lookout for new content, he’s doing just as well in video editing as under a paraglider, and that’s an understatement!

You!

Hey! You’ re part of it too! Pilots, dealers and importers… Mountaineers, athletes and rebels… You make AirDesign growing over the years thanks to your adventures. Let’s keep it that way: break your own rules!
