Career
[edit]A career defined by controversy, Jago stood down from a surf lifesaving related charity—LifeSavers Foundation—during an investigation into the charities' finances.[1]
Jago was chairman of the political party ACT New Zealand for almost four years, before resigning in January 2023 for reasons that cannot be legally disclosed.[2] During his time as party president he oversaw an investigation into allegations made by the vice-president of the party’s youth wing, who claimed she had been the victim of sexual harassment.[3] The investigation concluded with the party deciding to take no further action - a decision drawing criticism for dismissal of victims.[4]
