FOUNDER TO THE PROFILE
James Bennett
Co-founder & CEO, FireFly Team Events
About
James Bennett is the Co-Founder and CEO of FireFly Team Events, a nationally operating team-building and experiential learning company that delivers over 500 corporate events each year for organizations throughout the United States.
A self-directed learner and entrepreneur, James constructed FireFly on a foundational conviction: people grow and connect most powerfully through shared, hands-on experiences. What originated as a modest event operation in Southern California has transformed into a nationally recognized enterprise, serving tens of thousands of participants annually through bold, audience-aware team-building programs, leadership workshops, conference experiences, and charitable events.
While the live-events industry faced widespread disruption during the pandemic, James guided FireFly through a remarkable transformation that yielded more than 500% growth and expansion into new markets across the country. Today, FireFly partners with organizations ranging from emerging businesses to Fortune 500 companies, facilitating hundreds of events and impacting more than 40,000 participants per year.
Recognized as much for his signature blue mohawk as for his unconventional approach, James merges creative thinking, business strategy, and experiential design to challenge conventional assumptions about leadership and workplace engagement.
James is an active member of Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and a graduate of EO Accelerator, where he refined the systems and leadership practices that have powered FireFly's national growth.
