Speaker of the Month - John Furlong

John Furlong - Chief Executive Officer, Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee.

As the world celebrated the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, John Furlong  became a familiar figure to millions for heading up the Games. Having met him in person and at local events, we've seen his speaking skills are strongest when he can tell his own story naturally and the reviews are incredible! A Vancouver Sun article on a recent speech noted: 'it was an emotional speech that earned him a sustained standing ovation from a packed room of about 1,000 people. Classic Furlong - full of hope and enthusiasm from a heart brimming with pride...'

The CEO of VANOC, Furlong led the teams that organized and staged both the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Helping to improve the fabric of Canadian society has always been one of Furlong's steadfast goals, and he has been a key player in demonstrating that the Games can be a true nation builder.

NSB is proud to represent John Furlong who a number of our team members have noted is one of the best speakers they've ever seen! Hear his views on the inspiration that can be drawn from the Olympic and Paralympic Movements and his insights on the resulting human legacies.
