GARETH PICKERING
CHIEF IGNITION OFFICER
Director & Co-founder: IGNITE your Business
Gareth is the Idea’s Guy behind the magic that the team creates.
Born and raised in South Africa, Gareth gave up the rat race of Johannesburg to become a global citizen, digital nomad, and Perfect Day chaser.
While his life's journey has taken him to many places, he currently calls Lake Atitlan in Guatemala home.
Gareth has found his purpose in creating content and documenting his life in a way that inspires others.
He is an adventure junkie focused on Lifestyle Design and thrives on finding new and exciting ways to live and love.
“I’m passionate about projects that use technology to educate, uplift, and change the world.”
“I think that the two most important days in a person’s life are: the day that they’re born and the day they realise why.”
Gareth holds a finance degree and owned an advertising agency in South Africa for 10 years.
He gave it all up in 2014 to travel and find a more meaningful life.
His superpower is his ability to see the big picture and often a clear route of how to get there.
Gareth enjoys working with the IGNITE team because he believes that everyone has something that they can share with the world through teaching.
“When working with clients I like to understand what their unique gifts are and then help them to clearly articulate their dreams to unite their tribe”.
“Life is short and most of us thought it would take much longer to get to the age we are today. If you’re going to allocate your life force to a project make sure it aligns with something that you’re truly passionate about.”
