With over three decades of experience spanning film, television, journalism, entrepreneurship and public service, RMD has featured in more than 60 film and television productions across Nigerian and international markets. He began his career as a journalist with leading Nigerian newspapers, including The Guardian and Concord, before founding MISTER, described in his biography as Nigeria’s first all-gloss men’s lifestyle magazine.
He is the founder of White Water Limited, a public relations firm, and RMD Productions. He also served as Special Adviser and later as Honourable Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State. Through the Richard Mofe-Damijo Foundation, he supports initiatives aimed at building capacity, creating opportunities and developing emerging talent and communities through the creative and cultural industries.
RMD has received numerous continental and international awards and is widely regarded as a stabilizing presence at the intersection of culture, media, governance and capital.
