Cameron George

Kia ora te whanau and welcome to Kiwi Yarns.

Today's guest is the One New Zealand Warriors Chief Executive, Cameron George.

And I would argue as far as CEOs go, Cameron is possibly one of the most down-to-earth, boots-on-the-ground person that's technically in a corporate role that you will come across.

He's been at the helm since 2017, steering the team and the franchise through a lot.

Perhaps we'll find out maybe one of the most rewarding things is the most remarkable transition of the culture of the team, the steady rise and arguably the most impressive fan base in the NRL.

And we started to shift that way and it started when Mark Robinson brought the club.

So that meant we had a stable owner there.

that was invested in the business and so on so that then translated to my thinking and so on and so on so there was no fear of if you don't succeed in six months time you're out of here and all that sort of thing which up to when I got there I think we'd had six or seven different owners about nine different six or seven different CEOs as well and I think it was nine plus coaches.

I was listening to this podcast, James Graham.

I was doing a podcast with the Warriors CEO, Cameron George.

I'm not sure if you caught that one.

That was on last

week.

Yeah, he shared a story, Cameron George, which really stuck with me.

So during the old, back in the days of the COVID times, when the Warriors were stuck in Australia, they were at an absolute low point in their business.

and their lives and everything.
