David Perry

David Perry is an ontological leadership coach and seasoned mindfulness-meditation teacher based in Zürich. After two decades shaping technology products in Silicon Valley, he traded boardrooms for mountaintops and now guides intimate groups through transformational retreats in the Swiss Alps. Drawing on 25 years of daily practice, David blends evidence-based coaching with contemplative wisdom to help guests release stress, regain clarity, and return home grounded and energised.

When he isn’t leading the Alpine Renewal Retreat high above Lake Lucerne, David works one-on-one with leaders worldwide, supporting them to cultivate presence and purposeful action. Participants call his retreats “super relaxing” and “powerful,” praising the personalised guidance that begins before arrival and continues long after departure. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, David provides the space, structure, and gentle encouragement needed to rediscover your best self in nature’s quiet grandeur.
