Founder and Chair of Aspen Medical, Glenn Keys, has been appointed by the Invictus Games Foundation (IGF) as a Trustee. Keys is also the current Chair of Invictus Australia.
“Since helping bring the Invictus Games to Sydney in 2018, I’ve seen the incredible impact of sport on the lives of wounded, injured and ill veterans and their families,” Keys said.
“It’s a privilege to represent Australia and contribute to the global mission of the Invictus Games Foundation. We have a unique opportunity to share Australia’s strengths in sport, service and community with the world.”
Keys' involvement with the Invictus movement dates back to the establishment of the Organising Committee for the Invictus Games Sydney 2018, where he was one of the original Board members.
“My appointment to the Invictus Games Foundation Board reflects what we have long believed at Aspen Medical; that recovery doesn't end with discharge, and that through sport, employment and connection, we can help restore hope and identity for veterans and their families."
According to Aspen Medical, Glenn has played a role in shaping the legacy of the Games in Australia. This legacy led to the establishment of Invictus Australia, allegedly the first organisation of its kind globally, dedicated to extending the work of the Invictus Games Foundation and supporting the recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration of WII veterans through sport.
“In appointing Glenn, the Invictus Games Foundation was struck not only by his energy and strategic insight but also his deep understanding of the values that underpin the Invictus movement,” CEO of the Invictus Games Foundation, Rob Owen, commented. “He is a passionate believer in the power of community, connection, and purpose.”
A former officer in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Founder and Executive Chairman of Aspen Medical, Glenn brings decades of experience in defence, healthcare and social impact.
