Jason has been involved in the events industry for over a decade and for the past 5 years, he's been helping to run Global Games and deliver some of NZ's largest youth sports events. As the General Manager, Jason thrives in the business challenge of pulling off a large event as well as bringing people together to give them an incredible experience!

Global Games organises world class sporting opportunities for thousands of youth annually from right across NZ and the world through large-scale sports festivals and other projects built on a strong foundation of sportsmanship and fair play.

For some perspective:
- The largest event had 14,000 attendees and over 120 teams.
- Hosted many international junior teams including those from South Africa, Australia, America, Japan and France.
- Events consistently book out 11 months prior to going live with massive waitlists
- Given out many full team scholarships to attend sports academies at the AUT Millennium Institute where olympians train
- Have run events for multiple sporting codes including rugby union, rugby league, netball and soccer
- The biggest annual event requires a crew of 75+ people
- Successfully hosted a fundraiser gala dinner at Eden Park for 550+ people with keynote speaker Sir Graham Henry. All of the $50,000+ that was raised went to funding international sporting opportunities for youth.

Jason loves being involved in these events since it ticks all the boxes:
- promotes healthy lifestyles and involvement of sports
- hosts wicked events and gives all attendees an awesome experience
- huge community impact
- encourages youth to be the best that they can be

Through Jason's involvement, he now thinks on a large scale, is solution orientated, puts the community above commerce, can create win-win relationships for different stake holders and delivers world-class events but most importantly thinks about how to create massive social impact.
