Description

Jack Sullivan is a Director of West Ham United, son of David Sullivan (owner of West Ham), former Managing Director of West Ham Ladies and current entrepreneur including co-owner of  Supply Life. Jack has always lived in a family of high achievement. His father is a well known business entrepreneur and owner of one of the most iconic London Premier League football clubs. At the age of 17 Jack was made the managing Director of West Ham Ladies and the focus of a TV documentary series. Jack has had to live his life in the spotlight and mitigate what people know about him from the news or social media, including being labelled as one of the youngest billionaires in the UK. Jack outlines the weight of expectation on him from a young age to embrace a hard working ethic, to try his best and respect people. Jack has always been curious and hungry to learn and experience as much as possible as early on in his life. By 16 he had experienced most of the various departments of West Ham United. The Women's Team was semi pro and Jack saw the opportunity to learn more if he focused his attention on the momentum in Women's football. At 17 Jack faced a wave of criticism when he was appointed the Managing Director of West Ham Ladies yet he persevered and quietly learned his trade, In only his second year as MD he had a TV documentary team following his every move! Jack leveraged the experience of those around him by listening, watching and mirroring those people already working at West Ham. Jack managed to help the Ladies Team become a truly professional and internationally representative team that played in the FA Cup Final. Now as a Director of the main club, involved with the Men's first team, the stakes are even higher. This episode is a wonderfully honest insight into life of a young entrepreneur in the spotlight of the beautiful game. www.supplylife.com
