About me
Hi, my name is Jamie Elovsson and I am a sport for good proffesional with over 15 years experience with social impact programs in the civil, private, public and inter-governmental sector- all the sectors!
Origianlly from Canada, I have a background in international development and have always been an advid sport enthusiast both as a competitive player (mainly tennis and basketball) and of course as a fan (A life long and very passionate supporter of AS Roma football club). When I first realized that I could combine these passions and that sport was an excellent vechcile for social change, I jumped on the oppourtunity.
I have been very fortunate to work with a wide array of actors in different branches . I have managed grants, created a flagship program for the United Nations Office on Sport, managed CSR programs in the private sector, created new government funded programs complete with partner selection and M&E systems in the civil sector, managed NGO finances, created steering documents, created content, founded a foundation and even teach tennis on the side- a little bit of everything which puts me in a great position to help organizations with their consulting needs.
Im open to all jobs big and small so please reach out and we can grab a coffee and see if it might be a fit
