Harris founded Goodvoice Group after serving in leadership roles at six Olympic Games, driven by a desire to connect the dots of his past experiences and collaborate with people who share a passion for impact at scale.

A former judo athlete turned cross-sector executive, Harris brings a unique blend of international relations, business development, branding, and education to his work—bridging strategic vision with hands-on implementation across the tech, sports, and education sectors. His career began through management roles within the Olympic Movement, and has since evolved into a diverse portfolio of initiatives that focus on global engagement, design thinking, and people empowerment. To this day, Harris continues to apply his multidisciplinary lens to help mission-driven ventures grow, connect, and lead with purpose.

Over the past two decades, Harris has led major Olympic education and diplomacy initiatives across the U.S. and Europe, shaping narrative strategy and infrastructure for U.S. Olympic Sport Federations, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, Olympic City USA, four Olympic Torch Relays, and the International Olympic Academy (IOA).

Equally at home in boardrooms and classrooms, Harris has partnered with universities, nonprofits, and private sector leaders to elevate educational experiences and brand ecosystems. The backdrop of six Olympic Games shaped his global understanding of business and laid the groundwork for ventures with lasting, scalable impact.

As the architect of the Youth Champion Ambassador (YCA) initiative for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, Harris helped launch a globally scalable youth leadership program inspired by Olympic values and adapted for cultural relevance in countries such as India, Slovenia, and Greece. His work with Olympic City USA and Panasonic further activated youth engagement around four Olympic Torch Relays—positioning Panasonic as a leading vendor in Olympic education and smart city development.

In Europe, Harris worked with the International Olympic Academy (IOA), first as a financial advisor and later as an educational strategist. He led the IOA’s digital transformation—developing bilingual content libraries, a new website, custom LMS, and scalable registration infrastructure—laying the foundation for global partnerships and the Academy’s long-term impact.

In higher education, Harris has redesigned executive learning experiences for institutions like Denver University’s EMBA program and the Denver World Trade Center, aligning curriculum with personal leadership development, global innovation competencies, and immersive brand-building strategy. His development of reflective tools, brand strategy workshops, and experiential learning models has helped transform these programs into cohesive, purpose-driven journeys.

In the K–12 space, Harris has supported the international expansion and digital optimization of institutions like Columbia School of Hudson Global Scholars, Kebloom and Pikes Peak Business & Education Alliance (PPBEA). Through data-informed storytelling, market strategy, and UX design, he’s helped these organizations build systems that connect classrooms with career pathways and global opportunities.

His multidisciplinary interests have also led him to engage with more traditional sectors such as mining, technology, food retail, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare—bringing strategic insight and creative problem-solving to each. His collaborations with companies like Lynx, a mining SaaS platform; Personal AI, a cutting-edge cognitive computing startup; Singlepath, a digital health innovation firm; Planetarie, a wellness research brand; and Holdfast, a retail and distribution venture, demonstrate his ability to adapt and add value across diverse industries. Through these ventures, he has further solidified his business acumen, and commitment to innovation, regardless of the domain.

Harris’s ability to distill complex systems into cohesive, human-centered solutions has earned him international recognition. He was named a Top 100 Visionary in Education by the Global Forum for Education and Learning and was twice nominated for the Mayor’s Olympic City USA Leaders Under 40 award. His insights have been featured across academic, civic, and media platforms, with a portfolio spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

A published thought leader and speaker, Harris regularly contributes to conversations on education innovation, global competency, and design for impact. He also teaches graduate-level courses in business and branding. Across all his ventures, Harris is committed to uplifting underserved voices, fostering global empathy, and building systems that connect learning with real-world purpose.
