General Manager
Chris McIvor
My purpose in life is to help others realise and reach for their potential. Inspiring others and organisations to be a ‘Better Version of Self’.
I have worked in the sports, community and youth space for over 25 years in a variety of roles and organisations including codes, schools, not for profits. I have now transferred skills learnt in sport into a passion for people development.
