Geoff Griffiths

A former professional rugby player, Geoff is CEO and owner of Builtvisible, having acquired the business from founder Richard Baxter in 2019.

His sporting background brings a unique perspective to building high-performance teams, and his value-led approach has grown Builtvisible into one of the UK's largest independent organic agencies.

Outside of agency life Geoff enjoys helping other athletes transition out of sport and telling boring rugby stories to anyone that will listen.
