Meet The CEO

Vanessa Okoye

CEO, Owner

I am a driven and innovative leader with a versatile background in marketing, sales, and project management within the media and entertainment industry. Over the past seven years, I have consistently delivered exceptional results, fostered strong client relationships, and led teams to success. My expertise lies in strategic thinking, effective communication, and the ability to adapt in dynamic environments, all of which have been instrumental in my journey.

I began my career at FuzeEntertainment as an On-Air Personality and Co-host, where I developed skills in scriptwriting, news gathering, and delivering engaging content for both radio and television. My commitment to excellence and ability to collaborate effectively with team members allowed me to contribute to the production and execution of high-quality programs, which enhanced the credibility and impact of our broadcasts.

In 2018, I joined Upfront and Personal Global Management Consultants as a Project Manager and Event Organizer. Here, I have led numerous successful projects, implementing strategic marketing and social media campaigns to promote events and consistently delivering exceptional experiences that exceed client expectations. My leadership and coordination skills have been key to driving the growth and innovation of the company.

My experience also includes serving as a Personal Assistant and Receptionist for Bellavia Ribeiro-Addy, Labour MP for Streatham, London. In this role, I managed day-to-day activities, further honing my organizational and communication skills in a fast-paced and demanding environment.

My passion for the entertainment industry is evident in my ongoing involvement with One Africa Music Fest. As a Sales Representative and part of the Marketing and Event Staff, I have played a significant role in driving ticket sales, securing sponsorships, and ensuring smooth event logistics, all while providing exceptional customer service to our attendees.

With the guidance of my father, Mr. Paul Okoye (Paul O), who has been a significant influence in my career, I have successfully navigated the complex world of media and entertainment. This has allowed me to build relationships with top brands and industry leaders. Currently, as a Client Manager at Upfront and Personal Management and Consultants, I continue to excel in managing artist endorsements, securing deals, and guiding the careers of prominent figures in the entertainment sector.

I am passionate about what I do, and I am committed to leading with excellence, innovation, and adaptability as I continue to make a mark in the media and entertainment landscape.
