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, philanthropy and culture. Ngoc’s body of work has raised global awareness for individuals and achieved tremendous financial success for organizations.

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 have included Google, TEDx, CBS Sports, U.S. Open, Taste of Tennis (NY & Australia), SXSW, Bad Robot Productions and the Screen Actors Guild Awards where she still serves on the senior leadership team and helps oversee marketing, publicity, social media and sponsorships.

After becoming a filmmaker 10 years ago, Ngoc helped produce the award-winning feature, “A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story,” which chronicled Lizzie’s journey from being 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 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,” a TV series streaming on Apple TV and Amazon with Season 2 in post-production.

As a Strategist, Ngoc created a new blueprint over a decade ago when she combined her strengths as a publicist, producer and activist. 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, Children’s Defense Fund, Communities in Schools, Women Rising, and TIME’S UP where she served as SVP and Head of Entertainment.

Currently, Ngoc consults as the Head of Strategy and Partnerships for Katy Perry’s Firework Foundation, which includes producing Perry’s Light Up the Court Annual Celebrity Pickleball Event. She was also a consulting producer for the 2025 Emmys Pickleball Slam. Additionally, Ngoc sits on the Marketing/Communications Committee for Global Pickleball Federation (GPF), an organization whose mission is to raise participation across the globe and bringing the sport to the Olympics.

Recently, Ngoc was honored by the International Cinematographers Guild with its prestigious 2025 Bob Yaegar Award. Recipients of this award have not only distinguished themselves as a respected member of the industry, but also for their efforts outside of publicity for the betterment of society.
