After spending most of his life immersed in amateur and professional sports, Adam has been able to build a business disrupting the grassroots sports sponsorship model globally. In 2017 when Adam launched Sportility, his vision to grant teams access to professional sports gear and provide a new marketing channel for brands to advertise on sports uniforms became a reality.

Sportility is a platform that connects brands to teams for sponsorship, granting access to affordable and professional gear. Led by Adam’s passion and determination, Sportility has now grown to support over 50,000+ sports people across Australia and the USA, with 14 staff in their Sydney HQ and has attracted a diverse range of brands like Wisr, Specsavers, Spacer, Humanitix, Illawarra Taxi Network and Hutchinson Builders.
