Founder & President
John Harris
John Harris brings decades of frontline experience across broadcast technology, venue infrastructure, sports production, and capital advisory. His career spans work with professional sports organisations, broadcast integrators, and large-scale venue projects — giving HSE a rare combination of technical credibility and financial market access.
Harris International Solutions Inc., the operating entity through which John has built his network of institutional partnerships, provides the legal and commercial foundation for HSE's services. All capital partner relationships — including direct lines to BCG, GRM, and Quanto — were established and maintained personally by John.
In parallel with HSE, John serves as Vice President of Business Development for ADERASSA, the experience strategy and engineering firm whose resources underpin HSE's Venue & Experience pillar. This dual position gives HSE clients direct access to both capital markets and world-class venue expertise.
"The best projects in sports and entertainment get funded and built because the right people were connected at the right moment. That's what HSE does." — John Harris
The Network
Built on the right relationships.
HSE's value comes from direct, principal-to-principal access to a curated set of institutional partners. Every introduction is made personally by John Harris — you come through HSE, not around it.
Large-Scale Project Finance
Capital Pillar
HSE has a direct relationship with an institutional project finance partner capable of funding up to 90% of capex on qualifying sports and entertainment projects — through a blended structure of senior debt and equity, with equity buyout provisions available.
Strategic & Corporate Finance
Capital Pillar
A second capital relationship provides direct investor funding for suitable projects and can complement the primary structure — covering remaining capital requirements or standing as a standalone funding solution depending on project scope.
Data Asset Valuation
Capital Pillar
Through HSE's relationship with My Boring Data, franchises and venue operators can formally value their proprietary data as a financial asset — strengthening financing applications, investor narratives, or opening new monetisation paths.
Venue Experience & Engineering
Venue Pillar
HSE's venue and experience work is underpinned by a direct relationship with ADERASSA — a specialist experience strategy and engineering firm with over 17 years of work across arenas, racetracks, and entertainment centres. As VP of Business Development at ADERASSA, John Harris connects clients to the right level of advisory or engineering engagement for their project stage.
