Ami Goodheart, CEO and President
Whilst best known for her career as a performer, it's really her lavish and decadent floorshows that make her work legendary. Breaking ground as a pioneering producer in the early 90's, she co-owned two cabaret nightclubs and directed a handful of Off-Broadway shows all before the age of 25. Goodheart was instrumental in the revival of burlesque in New York. Her inspiring Zeigfeld-esque spectacles paved the way for many popular acts and troops that exist today. She has been celebrated by fashion icons such as Yves Saint Laurent, and has worked with cinema geniuses such as Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) and Oscar-winner Jane Campion (The Piano). A favorite to designer Marc Jacobs, Ami Goodheart and SOTU Productions have been responsible for the stunning and elaborate production numbers for his annual holiday masquerade ball. With a career that has spanned over 15 years and 17 countries, Goodheart and her work have been featured in several books and over 100 magazines worldwide including Italian Vogue, New York Magazine and Life.
