Westpac Smarts: The Business Behind Wellington Phoenix FC

It takes a lot of expertise and energy to run a professional sports team as a business, and David Dome from the Wellington Phoenix knows that better than anyone.

Join us at our next Westpac Smarts event, where David will dive into the business side of New Zealand’s only current professional football club.

What’s in-store:

David Dome, General Manager of the Wellington Phoenix, will share his journey with the team since its founding in 2007. He’ll take us through the unique challenges of managing a sports club that’s not just about the game, but also about being a successful business. Gain insight into how the Phoenix balances performance on the field with strong business strategies that support both the team and the broader community.

Come along and learn from David’s experiences in building partnerships with businesses and communities, and get practical takeaways on leadership, business management, and fostering community engagement.
