Torsten Gross Biography

Torsten Gross functions as a marketing maverick who has worked as an elite CMO at Deloitte R/GA JWT and BBDO before leading growth at Aloqia and Queen of Raw. A diving accident at age 15 left him a C6 quadriplegic but he considers this incident as his most important day because "I drowned…and was clinically dead for 2.5 minutes. I see that as one of the best days of my life”.

Torsten refused to let his disability determine his path so he became the world's first and only rescue scuba diver with quadriplegia and finished 12 marathons in one year while starting his racing career. In 2023 he participated in International GT and HSR and World Racing League competitions with his hand-controlled Porsche Cayman while appearing in Pennzoil commercials and a new documentary series.

Through his Just Hands Foundation he works with hand-control drivers to develop their performance driving and mountain biking skills. Torsten has gained recognition for his ability to transform perceived weaknesses into superpowers while demonstrating through his racing and life experiences that determination leads to equality beyond what circumstances provide.

Torsten currently resides in Sharon Connecticut with his wife Maggie and their dog Beau while managing his life as a husband and dog father and CMO and race driver and social change advocate. Through his unique combination of life experience and business expertise and courageous leadership he motivates people to push past their boundaries and adopt new perspectives and pursue what is achievable.
