Akin Ogboye

I am a royalty audit partner and have spent a majority of my career working with licensors and licensees across different formats –  pharmaceuticals, home video, theatrical, television, merchandising, technology and music distribution.

As well as working with Global IP owners such as US studios, Music organisations, Sports and Film merchandise companies and Book publishers, I carry out audits of Independent producers on behalf of Broadcasters and format creators.

I particularly enjoy the international aspect of my work – auditing licensees across Europe, Latin America and Asia, as well as working with Grant Thornton colleagues in our international offices.

I enjoy the challenge of helping IP owners manage their brand rights in the increasingly complicated licensing world where the modes of consumption of content continue to proliferate.

Outside work, I enjoy travelling and song-writing - and earning royalties - and hope to one day get a third song in the national music charts.
