In this episode of The Briefing Room, Peta Ellis sits down with Wayne Jones, CEO and Co-Founder of xReality Group (ASX: XRG) and its subsidiary Operator XR. Wayne served 21 years in the Australian Defence Force, spending the last 15 in the Special Air Service Regiment with deployments across Rwanda, East Timor, and Afghanistan. After leaving the ADF, he co-founded Indoor Skydive Australia (iFly), which listed on the ASX in 2013 as the highest-performing IPO of the year. When a legal battle halted iFly’s expansion, Wayne made a bold pivot into virtual reality, ultimately building Operator XR, now one of the world’s leading tactical training platforms for military and law enforcement. In this conversation, Wayne and Peta cover:
  • What 21 years in the SASR teaches you about leadership, resilience, and taking action under uncertainty
  • How two SAS soldiers founded iFly and built the highest-performing ASX IPO of 2013
  • The legal battle that stopped iFly’s expansion and forced a pivot to virtual reality
  • How Operator XR now serves around 95 US law enforcement agencies with immersive, data-driven tactical training
  • Why counter-drone training in VR is now one of the fastest-growing use cases for the platform
  • Keeping the engineering culture alive in Australia while scaling the business in the US
