Daniela Baumann is a visionary entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and author who built a fitness empire from the ground up. After facing severe financial hardship as a single mother, she founded Loft1 Studios, which grew to 15 branches across Switzerland. Today, she is a leading voice for women’s empowerment and the director of Global Woman Club Dubai, dedicated to helping women achieve financial independence and self-worth.

Baumann’s keynote struck a deeply personal chord with Gladiator Summit’s attendees. Through raw vulnerability and hard-won wisdom, she revealed how self-love became her secret weapon in building an empire, not as a luxury, but as a survival skill. She dismantled the myth of "security thinking," urging the audience to make peace with uncertainty and bet on themselves.
