Victoria Velazquez is a strategic business manager and creative producer with over eight years of experience empowering artist-entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and cultural institutions to build sustainable infrastructure and generate meaningful cultural impact. Her career is defined by a rare ability to bridge artistic vision with business acumen—equipping creatives with the tools, systems, and strategies they need to thrive in complex, competitive environments.

With expertise spanning business strategy, marketing, fundraising, and production management, Victoria leads initiatives from ideation through execution, consistently delivering innovative, mission-aligned results. She holds a Master of Arts in Music & Entertainment Business from Berklee College of Music and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from New York University’s Clive Davis Institute, grounding her leadership in both creative thinking and disciplined operations.

After graduating from NYU, Victoria co-founded Women of Color on Broadway (WOCoB), an arts service organization dedicated to celebrating the contributions of Black and Brown women in musical theater. As Executive Director, she built the organization’s infrastructure from the ground up—developing internal systems, securing multi-year funding, and producing high-impact programming. Under her leadership, WOCoB launched several nationally recognized projects, including House Seats, a PBS special featuring Tony Award winners LaChanze and Melba Moore; The Summertime Visual Project, in partnership with MAC Cosmetics and Playbill, featuring Grammy winner Samara Joy; and #BroadwaySpeaks, a civic engagement campaign in collaboration with Amnesty International USA and Pressed Juicery. These projects reflect her commitment to advancing arts and culture, engaging the public, and uplifting historically excluded voices.

Building on this foundation, Victoria launched V Productions & Management (VPM), a management company and consultancy supporting artist-entrepreneurs, small nonprofits, and creative startups. Rooted in the belief that creative excellence and entrepreneurial success are deeply interconnected, VPM offers comprehensive services in business management, strategic planning, creative marketing, production, and partnership development. The company empowers clients to build sustainable businesses without compromising their artistic integrity.

Among VPM’s notable collaborations is its work with YerrrSpace, a New Jersey-based arts and culture startup. VPM provided strategic support in brand positioning, fiscal management, outreach, and program development, including the successful execution of the annual Family Portraits series. Victoria’s portfolio further demonstrates the breadth of her capabilities—she has collaborated with the Clive Davis Institute Alumni Council on alumni-student programming, supported launch systems for Stories In My Backyard (SIMBY), a Philadelphia-based nonprofit, and advised Kevorkian Mastering Inc., a Grammy-winning audio engineering studio, on targeted marketing initiatives.

Beyond her consulting and management work, Victoria regularly partners with small businesses and cultural institutions to produce community events, branded activations, and public programs that bridge the arts and local economies. She has led events ranging from theatrical concerts and educational initiatives to corporate and neighborhood festivals—supporting over 65 small businesses to date. Signature productions include Jackson Hill’s Creepy Corner, a community arts festival presented with the Jersey City Economic Development Corporation to highlight local businesses, and I’m That Gurl, a branded activation featuring Bg.Queen, produced in collaboration with her collective Breaking Grounds to showcase women-owned businesses and visual artists.

Through her leadership, VPM continues to expand its reach and impact, serving as a trusted partner to clients ready to grow, scale, and lead with purpose. Whether managing grant-funded initiatives, producing cross-sector collaborations, or building operational systems from the ground up, Victoria brings rigor, creativity, and strategic clarity to every engagement. V Productions & Management stands as a reflection of her core values: cultural advancement, artistic empowerment, and economic sustainability. In every project, she brings the perspective of an artist, the discipline of an operator, and the vision of a strategist—qualities that define her as a powerful force in today’s creative economy.
