We are delighted to share this new LeCorner - International Episode with you as we are receiving Jason Roberts, an old and good friend of our Chief Strategy Officer JB. 

Jason is a former Premier League footballer player. He started his career at Hayes Football Club and played almost 500 matches in the United Kingdom.  

Prior to the end of his career, Jason founded the Jason Roberts Foundation, a charity dedicated to providing young people in the UK and the Caribbean with the opportunity to learn, build confidence and broaden their perspectives through sport. 

In 2017, he was appointed Concacaf's Director of Development to lead the Confederation's efforts across coaching education, corporate social responsibility, women’s football, and professional football.
