Since ancient times humanity has been fascinated by heroes that achieve amazing feats. From being warrior’s civilization has moved on to sport and it is in the Olympics that we now find our heroes dueling it out for victory and glory, achieving super human feats along the way.

The final member of the team is Natalie du Toit. As a former Olympian and Paralympian, Natalie du Toit has moved on from her inspiring achievements in sport where she earned 13 golds and 2 silver at the paralympics and competed in the able bodied Olympic games. In the water she captured the attention and respect of the world through her spirit and determination, but also for her fairness and willingness to help others.

She is now pursuing a career in business as a social media strategist, bringing that same drive and determination to her new career to the benefit of many top companies and brands. When we approached Natalie, who has first hand experience of many challenges athletes face, often at the hands of the power hungry and centralized control of administrators, the vision of SportsPodium immediately resonated with her.

Natalie joins us as both a part of our powerful marketing team and as a representative of the sporting world, giving us access to powerful names and people across the world in sports. With Chris and Natalie forming the marketing A team, we not only have a strong team for the Token Offering, but to launch and drive the project as a whole.

We are privileged and honored to have Natalie aboard. Welcome Natalie!
