Phil Hayes-Brown was appointed Wallara CEO in May 2010 after 20 years across law, finance and sports marketing including 12 years with the American NBA with assignments in Singapore, Paris London and Hong Kong.

At Wallara, Phil sees his role as attracting resources and partnerships to improve the conditions of the playing group - which in this case is 600 adults with different abilities - that also drive greater awareness and social inclusion.

Phil’s daughter, Phoebe, has a moderate cognitive impairment and is non-verbal. She inspires Phil to do what he does, and is currently a client at Wallara’s Sages Cottage Farm.
