Episode 19. Jason Paris

Jason is currently CEO of Vodafone New Zealand, but don’t be put off by that corporate sounding title as he’s anything but. He’s also worked in advertising in London which doubly qualifies him for a listen. Jason shared some great insights including his views on advertising and ad agencies. He talks about the great mentors he has had over the years and his journey from being a sports obsessed work-shy schoolboy in Invercargill, via a marketing background to some big roles in both New Zealand and the UK. There are some great tips for those starting out in business and we also have a natter about his favourite sporting moment, which coincidentally was also mine. Jason Paris. Ridiculous over achiever.
