Description:
Devin Carthan has worked in many industries throughout his life;
currently he is a sought after educator, consultant and strategic
marketing specialist for some of the biggest venues and restaurants in
New York City. His charismatic personality and compelling voice speaks
directly to the people he serves. In the early years of his career he
had many interest ranging from Civic Reform, Event Planning, Criminal
Justice and Culture. Initially Devin’s creativity and passion for the
arts was at the forefront for his pursuits. During his undergraduate
studies at John Jay College in New York City; he curated his brand
Reckless Entertainment Inc. a live events company that books artist for a
range of festivities with a focus on events for Colleges and
Universities. During that period his concepts and ideas were highly
sought after; he worked for media goliaths M.T.V, Viacom, Paramount and
ABC. Additionally, he also worked for and helped launch major brands
like the spirits company Sovereign Brands whom portfolio included Armand
de Brignac Champagne (Ace of Spades) and D’ussé. He found a calling for
working in education and with the youth at the prestigious K-8 School
at Columbia University where he directed the middle division 6-8th in
school and afterschool activities.
Rewind to the undergraduate
years Devin traveled the country performing poetry, went to classes,
re-created “the Crime Lab” John Jay Radio and curated the “Reckless
Brand”. At this point in his life he started to gain perspective on the
differences people across the United States and some international
countries have. He eventually came to the conclusion we have significant
more similarities than differences. With that understanding he wanted
to pursue a career as well as develop his business to being the
“Connector for the People Everywhere”. Cultural diversity is at the helm
of all that he does; he lives by the mantra “relationships are the most
important things to humanity”.
Currently, Devin has found his
passion as an Administrator with the Department of Education at Belmont
Preparatory High School where he serves as the Community Coordinator. At
night he is managing and marketing for the Marcus Samuelsson Group at
the flagship restaurant “The Red Rooster” (Harlem, NY). The word most
often used to describe him is passionate. His authenticity is a welcomed
addition to any conversation based on improving lives, sharing culture
and empowering the community. His skills are hard-fought and have been
bestowed from his rough childhood all the way up through his graduation
from an Ivy League school. There's a richness in his concepts that
foster an intriguing point of view on the modern creator, culturist and
American entrepreneur.
