Speaker Bio: Jackie Fast is recognised as a trailblazer within the sponsorship and known as a well established entrepreneur in the wider business community. Having sold her first business Slingshot Sponsorship in 2016 for millions less than 6 years after bootstrapping it in her bedroom with only a laptop to her name. Recognising that the shift in marketing and impact of the recession has created an opportunity for brands and rights holders to capitalise, Jackie went against convention and developed a bespoke commercialisation framework for the sponsorship industry that supported how to successfully deliver results in today’s changing landscape.
Following the sale of Slingshot, she took a year off to publish a book on effective strategies in raising significant funding titled 'Pinpoint' which quickly became an Amazon bestseller. She now speaks and writes regularly on entrepreneurship, sponsorship, technology, and scaling high growth businesses. She has been featured in Forbes Magazine and currently act as Non-Executive Board Director of fintech disruptor The Money Platform and remains Chairman of the European Sponsorship Association Awards. In 2018 she also participated on the BBC UK Apprentice, series 13.
She is currently writing her second book Rule Breaker: Rebellious Leadership for the Future of Work which outlines the shifting business landscape driven by technological innovation and the importance for future leaders to execute differently. The book is due out on 3 March 2021 in the UK and 28 March 2021 in the US.
