Johanna Massiel Mateo (born November 29, 1985) is Chief Executive Officer, co-owner of Talent Agency/Management/P.R. Company, My Public Debut, Inc. (MPD Website)

Biography
Hailing from the Latin country, Dominican Republic, Johanna has always been an intuitive and intelligent person. All throughout her educational career, the teachers who came in contact with her often knew she was destined to do something great and make a name for herself. It wasn’t until early 2009 that she would finally envision her purpose in life. With a track record in the entertainment industry from radio stations to award ceremonies such as a Radio Disney Personality, DanceStar USA Awards, Billboard Latin Awards to name a few, Johanna has always managed to excel in whichever task was put in front of her. While constantly coming across talent and realizing the avenues currently put in place were not sufficient to growing and creating a star, her company’s vision began to come to life. With the growing contacts and connections made daily, her dream company, My Public Debut Inc. is now a reality and her hope for giving a voice and guidance to those who are talented but have little or no direction will ensure that her growing empire will truly be a success.

Entrepreneurship
Mateo has been influenced by many successful entrepreneurs in the entertainment industry, her most notable influence since 14 years old, is music sensation/legend, Christina_aguilera with whom she hopes one day obtain the opportunity to collaborate on a project together. Mateo's first taste of entrepreneurship came in 2006, when she started an online travel agency/activity/destination company for the St Augustine,Fl area. With the success of that company, years later she decided to get her hands on an industry she more closely relates to and has physical knowledge and experience, from there, My Public Debut, Inc. was born.

My Public Debut, Inc. is not the only venture Mateo is currently pursuing. She is building a growing empire around a new business model that the industry itself has not seen and will soon be introduced to. Her philosophy is as follows "There is no limit as to what we can achieve in our lifetime, working hard and smart will turn your dreams in to reality"

Philanthropy
Mateo also has her hands full with a new campaign in which she hopes to launch within a year (by the end of 2011) that will help serve back to communities around the world and bring awareness to a cause. She hopes to collaborate with game changers/shakers in the industry from celebrities to media moguls/tycoons and come together to shed light and hope into this special cause.

Personal Life
Mateo likes to keep her private life, just that, but her drive to pursue her dreams comes from wanting to leave a positive footprint in the world. Too many people she sees on a daily basis who have extreme potential to do good in this world but choose otherwise helps her give twice as much effort to her everyday work life.
