Joanna Abeyie
Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Blue Moon
Joanna has spent the last 12 years increasing the employment of diverse talent, launching her first charity Elevation Networks Charitable Trust at just 18 alongside six colleagues. In 2008 Joanna went on to launch her own Social Enterprise, Shine Media, where she placed over 3000 people from diverse backgrounds into work within the creative industries.
Joanna’s latest enterprise is founding Blue Moon, a flagship inclusive executive search business and diversity and inclusion Consultancy. Before BM, Joanna founded Hyden, part of FTSE 250 Global Recruiter SThree, an executive search and consultancy business.
Alongside Executive Search success, Joanna has been instrumental in establishing the Creative Diversity All Party Parliamentary Group with Ed Vaizey MP of which she is joint secretary. Joanna was awarded a Distinguished Graduate Award by the University of Reading in 2019, and an Honorary Doctorate in Business from the University of West England in the same year.
