PRESENTER
James Humpherson is the Global General Manager of Humanitix, the 100% for Purpose ticketing platform backed by Google and Atlassian. As the organisation’s first employee and US GTM lead, James has guided Humanitix from a grassroots startup to a major tech competitor across North America, APAC, and the UK. While the platform’s mission to fund highly effective charities drives its global awareness, James has scaled the company by proving that social impact is never an excuse for commercial compromise. Under his leadership, Humanitix sells over 25 million tickets a year and has transformed over $21
million in booking fees into social impact in the process. Humanitix flips the script: by showing that for a mission-driven business, excellence isn’t just a goal, it’s the only way to maximize the impact of giving.
