Social Gaming, Ice Baths, & Franchising, with Troy Warfield, CEO of The Social Gaming Group & Chairman of Surf Lakes

My guest in this episode is Troy Warfield. Troy is the CEO of The Social Gaming Group, a gastro-gaming venue business, where he has led the company’s rapid global expansion. He is also the Chair of Surf Lakes, a US surf park business.

Troy's prior roles include President of Topgolf International, Executive Director of the Board at British Airways as well as BA's Brands & Customer Experience Director, and Chief Commercial Officer of Avis Budget Group where he led the international franchising of the business. 

Troy was also previously Managing Director of the UK and Ireland for Kimberly Clark, and has held senior roles at Unilever.

He is a very proud father of three children, and enjoys giving back to the community via many charitable roles through his career, coaching his son’s rugby, and being with friends.

Highlights of our conversation include franchise wins in the Middle East for The Social Gaming Group, the benefit of focusing on strategic cluster, dealing with the fact that the more senior you get the lonelier you get, and the leadership benefits of exercise, ice baths and meditation.
