Guy Oseary's entrepreneurial leadership and global vision encompasses the development and innovative business management of artist brands, such as Madonna, producing films, including the vampire film trilogy Twilight, and concert tours, like Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet Tour", which grossed 408 million dollars.
At the age of 15, Guy Oseary began searching for and developing talent in Los Angeles while still in high school. Two years later, he joined what would become Maverick Records as an A&R man and quickly rose through the ranks to become Chairman of the label.
During his tenure, Maverick Records released albums by Michelle Branch, Prodigy, Deftones, and The Wreckers, as well as soundtracks to "The Wedding Singer", "The Matrix", "Austin Powers", and Quentin Tarantino's films "Jackie Brown" and "Kill Bill".
In 2005, Oseary became Madonna's manager, following several years as the artist's business partner. Their collaboration included the release of multi-platinum CDs and two recent worldwide concert tours. The 2006 "Confessions Tour" grossed 195 million dollars, and her 2008-2009 "Sticky & Sweet" Tour was the most successful tour by a solo artist in history, with gross revenue of 408 million dollars.
As part of Maverick Films, Oseary executive produced the successful Twilight series. The latest installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, set a new record for the biggest midnight domestic opening in box office history. The three movies to date have grossed over 1.7 billion dollars.
In 2009, his client, three-time American League MVP, NY Yankees third baseman, and baseball giant, Alex Rodriguez, won his first World Series Championship.
Oseary co-manages YouTube singing sensation, 13-year-old Greyson Michael Chance. Chance's performance of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" has had 50 million views on YouTube, with no signs of slowing down. He is currently recording his debut CD for Ellen DeGeneres' new record label ElevenEleven.
NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly, now in its tenth year, is executive produced by Oseary, along with NBC's New Year's Eve - also hosted by Daly.
Since 2004, Oseary has been a principal at the top entertainment management company, Untitled Entertainment (in partnership with Jason Weinberg and Stephanie Simon). The firm oversees a roster of clients including Hilary Swank, David Caruso, Penelope Cruz, Naomi Watts, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Lucy Liu, and Blake Lively amongst others.
In early 2010, Oseary became an adviser to Vita Coco, the coconut water brand company. He brought on board an investment group including Madonna, Demi Moore, Anthony Kiedis, and Matthew McCounaghey. Vita Coco currently has a 70 percent market share for coconut water in the US, with sales continuing to surge monthly.
Oseary has signed on as an advisor to Groupon.com. Forbes proclaimed the company as "the fastest-growing company in web history." In April 2010, at just 17 months old, Groupon's valuation was 1.35 billion dollars.
In partnership with Madonna, Oseary formed MDG Icon, a joint venture with Iconix Brand Group, which focuses on fashion and apparel projects. The first collection under MDG is a sunglass collection designed by Madonna in collaboration with designer duo Dolce and Gabanna. The first apparel collection, Material Girl, is a fast fashion junior line designed by Madonna and her daughter, sold exclusively in all Macy's stores.
Oseary has written two books and has had two photography books published.
