MJ Olaore

MJ trained as a Chartered Accountant with Price Waterhouse, working in both the London and Singapore offices. Her first foray into the media and entertainment sector came when she worked at Independent Television News (ITN), and this began a career-long love affair with the sector. Roles at LBC, Virgin Radio (which then became Absolute Radio) followed, with her responsibilities over time expanding from Finance to include Operations (legal, HR, IT, facilities). She has been Chief Operating Officer at Firefish since 2011, and in this time she has been instrumental in managing its growth from a single UK entity to an eight-company group, with businesses in the USA, Singapore and the Netherlands to add to the growing UK base.
