VICTORIA JAMES
Victoria first taste of the sporting industry started when working at the Greg Norman Collection in Sydney as a Licensing Assistant. This lead to years in working in the golf industry as an Event Coordinator for national events such as the Heineken Classic in Melbourne and Australian PGA Championship in Queensland.
Transitioning to the world of athlete representation saw Victoria become involved within many facets of the industry such as athlete marketing, sponsorship endorsement, events and much more, working with elite and aspiring sporting talent. During that time, Victoria expanded her event management and organisational skills working on charitable events, raising money for the Taronga Foundation in addition to start up events such as NRL Beach Football.
A move to Wests Tigers lead her to developing relationships with major corporate sponsors such as Proton Cars and Meriton for the football club, developing and implementing sponsorship programs and corporate events including the club’s premier event, the Wests Tigers Grand Final Function.
More recently, Victoria has utilised her project management skills to implement the Sports Dad of the Year Award, liaising with various sporting organisations and media to secure nominations for the national award.
