ABOUT JOHN VELLIS
Spearheading the expansion into the US market for the NRL by driving the strategic direction and commercial revenue streams. Delivering the Las Vegas season launch has uncovered enormous opportunity and strategic partnerships which have played a significant role in contributing to the overall success of the code in the Australia and Pacifica region. A transformational leader with extensive experience in corporate, media, sport administration, marketing, digital, and broadcasting, most recently with the National Rugby League (NRL). Proven track record of driving innovation and high-performance teams with market leading commercial outcomes which have shaped businesses and industries. Acute commercial acumen with a deep network within the business and sporting communities, complimenting my strong negotiation and organisational skills to deliver a disciplined result orientated solution. Demonstrate skills as a strong leader, coach, and mentor to all levels of staff. Other professional experience includes working at ASX company Tabcorp, and with OMD (global agency) across brands including Apple, News Corp, Chrysler, Microsoft, and St George Bank. Pioneered sports wagering integration across all major media outlets and continued to raise the bar on best practice across all sports. Identified and secured key commercial growth opportunities through existing or new US and European business relationships (NBA, NFL, MLB, Soccer World Cup sport partnerships.) I am passionate about commercial outcomes, people, customer experience and collaborative excellence to deliver great business outcomes and leading capability growth.
