Testimonials for Jimmy Smith
He was fantastic! Without him the night wouldn’t have been the success it was.
Wynter Hines, Executive Assistant, Golf NSW
Jimmy Smith was BRILLIANT! He made sure that he had the audiences attention from the beginning. He went above and beyond expectations. Mingled with all of our guests when he came down off stage. Would definitely get him again.
Engadine Dragons JRLFC
Jimmy did an impeccable job as the emcee for our global shareholders' conference. It is not an easy task to keep a group such as ours -- which literally represents all corners of the globe and which is also comprised of people who know each other quite well -- on track and in line, but Jimmy did just that with grace and humor. It was a pleasure to work with him in preparing for the conference and I truly appreciated his ability to calmly roll with the punches when we had to deal with some significant shifts in the agenda. I give Jimmy my highest recommendation and look forward to an opportunity to work with him again in the future.
