Our Story
From Athlete Community Link to Podium
Callum Saunders & Sam Dakin – Co-founders & Athlete Advocates.
Sam & Callum are recent Olympic debutants, representing the NZ Sprint Cycling Team at the Tokyo Olympics.
Great mates and teammates, they came up with an idea to connect athletes with businesses in their local community. Not only to help provide financial support for their peers, but also for them to have direction and experience after their sporting careers.
Jake Riggir – Co-Founder, Consultant & sports advocate.
Jake came across Sam & Callum's story, packed up his desk as an IT recruiter in Wellington, and made the leap.
He brings his energy, commitment, and recruitment experience to support his fellow founders.
HainesAttract have a history of innovation and entrepreneurial thinking in the recruitment and talent attraction space.
Providing scale, resources, and advisory services, HainesAttract have partnered with Athlete Community Link to create Podium and take this idea to the nation.
