Spearheading Company’s Growth Bandwagon
Kent Jenkins has been instrumental in the success of Sportzplanet due to his extensive international executive business background; having lived and worked in international markets for close to half of his professional life. “I consider myself an Asia specialist, understanding how Asia works, its culture and customs, and, most importantly, how decisions are made. Now, for more than a decade, we have been successfully working with start-ups to multinational corporations,” states Kent.
Robust Roadmap Ahead
Asia will continue to expand as more companies recognise the commercial prospects and value that Asian countries bring to the table. Seamless involvement, particularly through technology such as Digital Sports Hubs, will only grow in popularity. Sportzplanet is at the forefront of this delivery as the sector embarks on an incredible technical adventure.
“Going forward, the US will be a major focus of ours, connecting East & West. I believe we are well positioned to achieve what most US athletic teams desire, with the objective of expanding our clients’ reach and generating income for them. The Cristiano Ronaldo Football Campus and the Madeira Sports Agency Portugal have exclusively hired Sportzplanet to provide youth football programmes in Australia. This will be expanded into South East Asia, and we hope to expand into the US market as well. Having such a business interested in collaborating with us illus-trates Sportzplanet’s appeal. Furthermore, we are strongly supported by our V-Unite partners, who offer us the platform to establish the digital sports centers,” concludes Kent.
