Founder & Managing Director

jack sanderson

The operator behind EGI.

Jack Sanderson is the founder of Elite Group International and operates the company directly from Phuket.


Having built an extensive network across the island's luxury, hospitality, marine, aviation, and property sectors, his focus is centred on providing trusted local support to individuals, families, and organisations requiring a capable on-the-ground presence.


His role is not advisory. It is operational.


From private arrivals and lifestyle management to complex, time-sensitive requirements, he works directly with clients to coordinate the people, resources, and local relationships required to achieve the desired outcome.


His approach is shaped by a simple belief: the quality of an experience is rarely determined by what is visible. More often, it is determined by what happens behind the scenes. Planning, preparation, timing, and execution remain the foundations of every successful arrangement.


As Phuket continues to evolve into one of Asia's leading luxury destinations, clients increasingly require more than access alone. They require reliable local knowledge, trusted relationships, and the confidence that arrangements will be handled properly from beginning to end.


Access remains direct and selective, ensuring every engagement receives the attention and oversight it requires.
