Professional Journey

Teamworks’ own site gives 2006 as its founding year. In a 2023 interview Heath said the founders “launched the business in 2010”.

Teamworks describes its mission as empowering athletes “and those who support them with technology that unlocks their full potential”. It calls itself “founded by athletes, for athletes, in support of sport”. The company says it has grown rapidly since its inception, helped by the acquisition of “multiple best-in-class tech companies”.

International growth has been one of Heath’s public themes. He has said that in 2018 Teamworks “started thinking seriously about international expansion and began laying the groundwork for our entry into the U.K.” Since then, by his account, the company has moved into Australia and Spain and taken on clubs in European top-flight leagues, cricket, including the Indian Premier League, and South American football. Teamworks now reports customers in 17 countries and round-the-clock global support.

In the company’s current leadership line-up, Maurides is Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and the operating roles are held by others, including a Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Technology Officer. Heath is listed as Co-Founder. The company’s own writing describes him travelling to meet leaders in sport and technology and advising organizations on their technology strategies.
