Long bio
Jeremy has spent his career in rooms most people walk out of and forget. He decided to build the ones they talk about for years.
He is the co-founder and Chief Experience Officer of Strayboots, where he personally creates, manages and hosts corporate events. Across affiliated businesses, the company-reported reach is 37 countries, 700+ cities, and 1,000,000+ participants — company-reported figures across affiliated businesses, not solely his personal delivery record.
Nobody grows up wanting to run team events. He backed into it the honest way — by being in the room when one went flat. A company spends real money to get its people together. There is a stage, a screen, a speaker who flew in that morning. Everyone is polite. Everyone checks their phone under the table. By the following Tuesday, nothing about how those people work together has changed at all.
What bothered him was not the money. It was the waste of something rarer: a whole team, in one place, at the same time, actually available to each other. So he started building the opposite kind of room.
The lesson arrived fast, and it has never changed since: people do not bond by listening together. They bond by doing something together that is just hard enough to matter. Give a team a task inside its comfort zone and you get a pleasant afternoon. Give them something a little outside it — competitive, fun, slightly uncertain, winnable only if they actually talk to each other — and watch what happens. That stretch is not a trick. It is the mechanism. Communication, collaboration and trust are not lecture topics; they are what a team produces when it has no other way to win.
Strayboots grew from those early rooms into a company corporate planners and management teams around the world rate at the very top of this industry. The events got bigger — hundreds of people, then thousands. The map got wider across affiliated businesses: 37 countries, 700+ cities, more than a million participants and counting. The formats multiplied — city hunts across real streets, indoor challenges built for ballrooms and boardrooms, outdoor adventures, creative builds, and give-back events where a team’s day changes somebody else’s life too.
The give-back work deserves its own sentence, because it changed him. He has watched a room of executives go quiet — genuinely quiet — as a wheelchair they built with their own hands was presented to a child who needed it. He has seen teams hand over bikes to kids coming out of cancer treatment, families who could never have simply bought one. Whatever else an event can do, it can do that. He never schedules those days lightly.
