Deeleeo - Jackson Payne

Before launching Deeleeo in 2020, Jackson Payne spends over 15 years as a member of the Canadian National Gymnastics team, where he dazzles as a four-time all-around Canadian National Champion, competes on seven world championship teams, snags a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games, and is named the first alternate for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Jackson’s experience in gymnastics—marked by its own share of triumphs and challenges—has honed his resilience, determination, and passion. His career, filled with both soaring highs and tough setbacks, has taught him that every temporary failure can lead to an eternal blessing. Now building his business from the ground up, Jackson’s athletic grit translates into his entrepreneurial drive where he battles the challenges of the startup world with the same tenacity that defined his gymnastics career.
