Meet Sebastian
Seb is a passionate fundraiser and has been involved in the Not-For-Profit sector for almost two decades. As the Head of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications he has the honour of stewarding Life Flight’s generous family of supporters. “Our donors, partners and volunteers are incredible and I love being able to share stories with them of a daring chopper rescue they have made possible or a baby they have helped save,” he says.
Seb says his dedicated and talented team is a pleasure to work with. A highlight was creating the top-rated ‘Life Flight’ TV ONE series, beaming the organisation’s life-saving work into the homes of 750,000 New Zealanders.
He holds a Bachelor of Communications from Auckland University of Technology and is a regular speaker on the conference circuit. When not fundraising he’s never far from the ocean, often seen paddling out for a dawn surf at local beaches or having a stroll along the coast to help his baby girl Lola drift off to sleep.
When not at work, he enjoys gardening, staying active with a range of hobbies and spending time with his family.
Everything we are able to do is thanks to our supporters, you make this all possible and your donations directly contribute to saving lives every day.
