#JobAlert New CEO Role: "As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, it is humbling to witness what the Invictus Games Foundation has been able to achieve in changing and saving lives of those Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS) individuals and their families, who have given in the military Service of their countries. From the inaugural games held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, a blueprint was created, inspiring so many on their respective journeys of recovery and created a global community in 23 countries across all the major continents, allowing the ‘Invictus Spirit’ to positively influence all levels of society. People around the world have drawn inspiration from the competitors and their stories of resilience and determination. The Invictus Games Foundation (IGF) is the owner of the brand and the selector of future host cities, but it represents much more than just the Games. Beyond and between the Games, the Invictus Games Foundation uses sports recovery and adventurous challenge, to grow an international active support network not just for the WIS, but also their family and friends. We approach our next ten years with a combination of excitement, purpose and ambition where we will reinforce and grow the IGF as the pre-eminent international organisation focused on the recovery and wellbeing of WIS individuals and their families, through sport and adventure. This next stage will require significant growth to achieve our bold vision, against the backdrop of a complex geo-political environment and one where resources can be tight. Following the inspiring legacy of our outgoing CEO, there is now the unique opportunity for his successor to lead the IGF into the next stage of its evolution and growth. Whether achieved as a significant leader in the commercial world, civil society or the public sector space, you will need to have the gravitas, insight, experience and acumen, to operate with aplomb across a range of environments, from the strategic, national and governmental level, to being equally effective ‘on the ground’ and amongst the WIS individuals, their families and the core participants of the Invictus community. You will combine this with being commercially aware and be able to show the proven experience to deliver significant income generation, including in the international environment. While your principal focus will be outward-looking working closely with the Board of Trustees and in liaison with our Patron Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, you will also have the experience to provide leadership to our passionate and capable Executive team, through a period of change. Above all, you will be invested in the Invictus community and will be inspired to make a tangible difference for it." Lord Charles Allen CBE, Chairman Invictus Games Foundation.

🌟 The First Invictus Germany Sports Festival is in the Books! 🌟 We are overjoyed and deeply thankful that we could make this legacy project happen. Starting with a symposium, experts came together to discuss and exchange knowledge about rehabilitation and inclusion, focusing on the progress and development needed to provide the best possible support for those in need. On Saturday, the athletes arrived, and it was amazing to see their excitement. These incredible individuals have endured hard times and continue to navigate their recovery journey. Sport gives power and is an important part of recovery, so we hope that with this sports festival, we can make a small contribution to their journey. It is essential for us to continue the mission of the The Invictus Games Foundation to support to the whole wounded, injured and sick community, giving them a platform of support and exchange as well as visibility and respect in society We were thrilled to welcome 250 participants from 8 nations and 3 representatives from the blue light organizations at Castello Düsseldorf. The atmosphere was overwhelming, filled with camaraderie and sportsmanship. It was heartwarming to see the community cheer for each other and competitors giving their best. One unforgettable moment was when, after receiving their participation medals, all athletes spontaneously stood in a row to high-five and celebrate each other. A true goosebump moment! A big thank you goes out to the city of Düsseldorf and Mayor Dr. Stephan Keller for supporting this legacy project, to all the sponsors Boeing, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Hines Germany, Concept2, Inc., btl next GmbH, Helaba, FUAV—without whom this would not have been possible—the Bundeswehr for their cooperation, and to all the volunteers who were not only great help but also priceless supporters. Thank you all for making this event a resounding success! 🙌✨ #InvictusGermany #Rehabilitation #Inclusion #WeareInvictus #Community D.SPORTS | D.LIVE
