December 12, 2021 • BlackXecutive • Season 3 • Episode 1

In this episode, we chat with Senior Vice President of Marketing for Def Jam, Jeff Burroughs. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because this man’s resume is long y’all long.

The episode will cover:

Creating a work-life circle of balance
Nurturing creative ideas
The timelessness of true artistry

Jeff is the Former Vice President of Sony (Sew-knee) Music Entertainment, Former Executive President of Bad Boy Entertainment, Former Head of Commercial Relationships for some of America’s favorite fan crazed shows like the X Factor and the Got Talent Franchises and he still managed to be an entrepreneur and grow his own marketing, branding and consulting company, Rise Entertainment throughout all of that. And lastly, if you name a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, he’s probably worked with them L.A.Reid, Puff, Biggie, Amerie, Q-Tip, Simon Cowell, 2Chains, Kanye, YG and many, many, many more artists.
