ingapore-based ONE Championship, which bills itself as "Asia’s largest global sports media property”, has announced Catcha Group and Iflix cofounder Patrick Grove as one of 12 guest CEOs for The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition TV series slated to hit television later this year.
Grove will participate in the show alongside ONE Championship chairman Chatri Sityodtong to judge and mentor the 16 contestants who are set to compete in a high-stakes game of business competitions and physical challenges.
“It is my pleasure to welcome Patrick Grove. Patrick is one of the most accomplished self-made entrepreneurs in the Asia Pacific region. Our 16 contestants will learn a lot from Patrick’s knowledge and experience,” Sityodtong said as quoted by a press statement sent to The Jakarta Post on Monday.

“Super pumped to work with Chatri to find the next entrepreneurial superstars. ONE Championship has done an amazing job finding fighting superstars, and I’m sure together, Chatri and I will find entrepreneurial superstars,” Grove said.
The winner will receive a $250,000 job offer to work for a year directly under Sityodtong as his protege at the ONE Championship global headquarters in Singapore.
