In their words
A brilliant social entrepreneur with a huge heart and optimistic spirit — always willing to learn and grow, as well as make others grow. Very professional, creative and solution-oriented.
More than a boss or mentor — an inspirational leader with the gift of bringing out the best in a person. Working with him across five-plus countries changed the path I was on in my life.
Jamie is a tremendous person with strong values and commitment, demonstrated in the EDventure business and programme he created. The impact is stunning. It is incredibly impressive.
