Today we have Gary Davies, President/CEO of the Canadian Sport Institute-Calgary (CSI) on The Kondrat Podcast. Gary has had a fascinating life as an entrepreneur and we discuss his journey in the publishing, event management and production industries before joining the team at CSI. We discuss the challenges he is facing with CSI, where global restrictions due to COVID19 have made participating in International sporting events impossible.
Before becoming the President/CEO of the Canadian Sport Institute-Calgary, Gary was President of e=mc2 event management, Managing Director of Kelly Brothers Productions, and Founder/President of Best of Calgary.
Gary also spent 20 years in the magazine business, as President of Canada Wide Media in Vancouver for a couple of years and for over 16 years as Founder/Executive Vice-President of RedPoint Media Group, publisher of Avenue Magazine, where he helped develop such well-known brands as Calgary’s 40 Under 40, Calgary’s Best Restaurants and Calgary’s Best Communities.
Gary is married to Allison and has three children: Will, Cam, and Georgia. One of his proudest accomplishments was organizing DriveThruGrad 2020 for Calgary High School kids (including his son) in 6 weeks during the current pandemic with his team at e-mc2.
Gary is excited for his new adventure as President/CEO of the Canadian Sport Institute-Calgary and his story is inspiring. I hope you enjoy our surprisingly, interesting conversation.
