In this inspiring episode of The NFP CEO, we sit down with Jason Sotiris, CEO and founder of Supertee, a charity that began with a simple question; "why hasn’t anyone made it easier to dress and care for children in hospital?"
What started as a desperate tradie-dad’s response to his daughter’s cancer diagnosis has now become a national charity delivering superhero-inspired medical garments to kids in more than 100 hospitals across Australia.
Jason shares how he turned frustration into innovation, and how the power of imagination, dignity, and persistence became the foundation for one of Australia's most beloved children’s charities.
We talk about:
- Supertee's origin story
- Why hospital gowns needed reinventing for both medical functionality and children’s wellbeing
- How Jason, with zero sewing experience, created a medically practical, emotionally empowering superhero garment
- Navigating the steep learning curve of becoming a first-time CEO in the NFP sector
- Building trust with donors through transparency and impact
- How he recruited his board, manages governance, and maintains clarity on mission
- Balancing passion and process while scaling an organisation
- The Marvel partnership, and the power of LinkedIn persistence
- Culture-building and leadership lessons that every CEO, new or seasoned can learn from
Whether you're building a purpose-led organisation from the ground up or taking the reins of an existing one, Jason’s journey is a masterclass in leadership, humility, and unwavering focus on purpose.
“I don’t need to know everything. I just need to know people who do.”
