Sport Faculty Profile Name Position Department Contact Details Grant Mayer Lecturer – SPO320 Innovation in Sport Management Academic Email: gmayer@icms.edu.au Profile Grant Mayer has spent more than 20 years in the Sport industry in varying roles in Australia and in Europe. A graduate of sports programs at both the University of Wollongong and University of Canberra, Grant has spent the last 15 years in professional sports administration. Most recently the General Manager – Commercial Operations at fledgling AFL team the GWS Giants, Grant has been Chief Executive Officer of the Many Sea Eagles and European Super League team the Catalans Dragons. Earlier roles in Sales and Marketing as well as Event Operations have provided Grant with a wealth of experiences relevant for the demands of this highly dynamic industry. “The sports industry has been exceptionally generous to me and my family. We have travelled the world and I have been fortunate enough to be involved with two NRL Premiership winning clubs. Any person that is prepared to work long hours and simply do what it takes will succeed in professional sports administration. Courses such as the ones provided by ICMS give a terrific insight to an industry that can be exceptionally rewarding. I sleep well at night knowing that my worst day in the office beats a banker’s best day EVERY day of the week.” 12
Wests Tigers appoint Grant Mayer as General Manager of Commercial Operations Monday 29 October 2012 9:29 AM Wests Tigers is delighted to announce the appointment of Grant Mayer, who will take up the role of General Manager of Commercial Operations from Monday 29 October. Mayer is no stranger to Rugby League circles having spent over six years with the Canterbury Bulldogs as an Events & Operations Manager, a further three years as Chief Executive Officer at the Manly Sea Eagles, as well as a 10 month stint at French Rugby League Club, the Catalan Dragons. During this time, Mayer crossed paths with NRL Coach Mick Potter who joined the Club late in the 2006 season. Most recently, he worked for cross code rivals, GWS Giants, as their General Manager of Commercial Operations for close to a three year period. Wests Tigers Chief Executive Stephen Humphreys said that the Club is incredibly fortunate to recruit someone with Mayer’s credentials. “Grant has a wealth of management and commercial experience across differing sporting organisations,” Humphreys said. “The sporting landscape, particularly in Sydney, is extremely competitive for Clubs like Wests Tigers and I have no doubt we will benefit greatly from having someone with Grant’s knowledge and expertise. “Our Club already enjoys a high profile in the game of Rugby League but with Grant’s guidance, I’m sure we will become one of the leading sports organisations in Australia. Grant Mayer said that he’s looking forward to working with a Club with such a proud history and tradition. “Wests Tigers has such an impressive portfolio of sponsors on board and I can’t wait to meet all of them in due course,” he said. “The Club already has an unrivalled reputation in terms of the value proposition for sponsors and we will continue to set the bar high in this regard.” 13
