Tim Jacobs

COO, HQWS

A native Aussie, Tim Jacobs was born and raised in Melbourne, Victoria. He earned his stripes in his early days in the event industry both on the stage DJing, and behind it in A/V and Tech management. Nearly three decades later, Tim has earned a reputation for his surgical approach to event management, overlay and strategy in multiple sectors of the event industry. With a client list which includes Buckingham Palace, The International Olympic Committee, The Special Olympics, FIFA, The UAE Ministry of Presidential Affairs, The Vatican and several other notable sovereign brands, Tim has amassed an enviable wealth of experience in his field that is highly sought after. 

Whilst agile project management has become a mantra for Tim, he has developed this method with his own signature into a unique approach which has substantially contributed to the speed at which HQWS are able to respond to client requirements.

Operationally, Tim leads by example and takes a hands on approach which no doubt encourages his team to do the same. Having held numerous senior positions over the years, Tim more recently honed his experience and expertise focused on the Middle East market with his efforts propelling him into the position of COO within the BWS group for the MENA region.
