Profile

John founded Esports Wales in 2018 with a handful of volunteers to “see Wales compete on a national level, and to develop the [esports] scene within Wales to make sure there’s a community where people can go and learn about the industry, network and find out about events.” Since then, the community aspect of the business has grown to almost 2,000 Discord members, around 5,000 Twitter followers, 10-15 physical meet-ups, as well as working with Welsh Government to set up an apprenticeship scheme and collaborations with the Football Association of Wales.

As the CEO of Esports Wales, I am honoured to champion the spirit of competition and unity that esports fosters. In the virtual arenas of gaming, we redefine boundaries and celebrate diversity. Together, as ambassadors of Wales on the global stage, let's showcase the resilience, skill, and camaraderie that define our esports community. Embracing the digital realm, we pave the way for a future where passion knows no borders, and Wales stands as a beacon of excellence in the ever-evolving world of competitive gaming."
