God Is In The Detail With John Golfin

Kicking off season 4 with Jay Wynter and special guest Peter Gilmer, and they chat with John Golfin and his interesting career and philanthropic efforts.

John Golfin, born and raised in Bondi Beach graduated as an Aeronautical Engineer in 1987 but ended up in a consulting team that brought SAP to Australia for the first time in 1989. He went on to manage some of the first and largest SAP projects in Australia, often involving huge business transformation, wall-to-wall SAP functionality, multiple sites, multiple vendors, teams of 300+ and budgets of $100m-$300m+. By the end of 2021, he was involved in 39 SAP and non-SAP projects and managed 18 of these from start to finish.

During this time he travelled to 98 of the 193 United Nations Member Countries in the world, ran several 10km+ runs in 92 of these and made over 20 major comedy-documentary films (www.golfcopictures.com) a film genre he invented in 1993. He shares these films with family, friends and work colleagues to raise money for a charity he founded in Australia (www.mercycentreaustralia.org) that supports an AIDS Children's Orphanage in the slums of Bangkok Thailand and a Mission in Freetown Sierra Leone looking after amputees disabled by the 1991-2002 Civil War.

John is now focused on completing his adventure/expedition style travels to the 95 remaining UN countries with more films to support his much-loved charity.
