NGOC NGUYEN
Founder/CEO Nguyen Strategies

Founder/CEO of Nguyen Strategies, a 360 strategy firm, Ngoc Nguyen (pronounced like “Nah Win”), provides unparalleled leadership that draws from over 20 years of experience and relationships across entertainment, sports, culture, and philanthropy. Ngoc’s body of work has achieved financial success for companies and raised global awareness on important social issues.

As a public relations expert, Ngoc has worked for entertainment powerhouses Miramax Films, Creative Artists Agency, and Paramount Pictures before becoming a PR, marketing, digital, and talent relations consultant for clients that include Google, TEDx, CBS Sports, U.S. Open, Taste of Tennis (NY & Australia), SXSW, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Bad Robot Productions.

While continuing her work in publicity, Ngoc embarked on a journey that would take her to the other side of the industry — producing. As a filmmaker, Ngoc has produced the award-winning documentary, “A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story,” which chronicled Lizzie’s journey from being cruelly labeled “Ugliest Woman in the World” to becoming one of the world’s leading anti-bullying activists. That film was followed by “Protect Her,” a four-part education doc-series and program on sexual assault prevention and then Google’s “Power On,” a five-part film series that empowered girls in STEAM fields. Ngoc also serves as executive producer on “Everyone is Doing Great,” an independently produced coming-of-age TV series, which is currently on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.

As a Strategist, Ngoc created a new blueprint over a decade ago when she combined her strengths as a publicist and producer, using them interchangeably to develop social justice campaigns inside mainstream strategies that incorporated influencers and brands across industries. Long before it became a staple to every business, guiding companies and individuals towards greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility had been central to Ngoc’s professional work and personal activism. Ngoc has led strategic efforts for the J.J. Abrams and Katie McGrath Family Foundation, Harness (founded by America Ferrera and Wilmer Valderrama), Children’s Defense Fund, Communities in Schools, Women Rising, and TIME’S UP where she served as SVP and Head of Entertainment, from 2019-2022, and advocated for safe, fair, and dignified environments and practices across the industry.

Currently, Ngoc serves as Head of Strategy and Partnerships for Katy Perry’s Firework Foundation, which includes producing Pery’s Light Up the Court Annual Celebrity Pickleball Event. Additionally, for the fourth year, Ngoc is a part of the senior leadership team at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and lends her expertise as a PR Strategist for the 31st Annual SAG Awards. As a filmmaker, Ngoc continues her role as Executive Producer on the “Everyone is Doing Great” television series, with Season 1 currently on Apple TV and Amazon Prime and Season 2 in post.

In addition to Ngoc’s professional endeavors, she remains a committed advocate and activist for issues that have deep significance to her, including the AAPI community, women’s rights, women in sports, anti-bullying measures, and cancer research. Ngoc is also a member of the Global Pickleball Federation (GPF), where she aids the organization in its mission of raising participation across the globe and bringing the sport to the 2032 Olympics.
