James Ogo-Oluwa, FCA, MBA
Chief Host at LIV | Guest Experience, Strategy & Growth
James Ogo-Oluwa is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and an MBA graduate of Nexford University, where he emerged as Valedictorian of the Class of 2023.
As the founder of LIV, James combines hospitality experience, financial expertise and strategic insight to build a trusted, guest-focused platform that delivers exceptional hospitality experiences, inspires confidence, creates meaningful connections and generates lasting value.
In 2025 alone, James facilitated 1,055 guest nights—each representing a traveller seeking more than accommodation: a place to feel comfortable, secure and genuinely cared for. That experience continues to shape LIV’s commitment to thoughtful stays, dependable service and hospitality centred on the individual needs of every guest.
Beyond business, James is committed to fitness and trains at the gym six days a week. He also has a deep passion for music and performance, particularly singing and dancing. His personal creative investment is rooted in gospel music, through which he has released two professionally produced music videos, while retaining a broad appreciation for the artistry and expression found across other musical genres. These disciplined and creative pursuits reflect the energy, consistency and openness he brings to leadership and life.
