Destined to Succeed

An Interview with Ann Marie Bryan, Founder & CEO, Victorious By Design

Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?

I am an entrepreneur, bestselling author, and writing consultant, with more than a decade of experience providing top-notch literary services and innovative personal and professional development solutions to clients. I come from a line of educators, so I began teaching mathematics as early as middle school. For a period, I assisted my community by teaching adult literacy classes in reading, mathematics, and English. After college, I entered the field of human resource management where professional development became a part of my job responsibilities. My creativity fuels my enthusiasm not only for training but also for writing. I’m the Managing Editor of VIP Global Magazine and former Editor-in-Chief of Purpose Driven Women Magazine. In addition, I am a Christian Fiction author who writes to inspire and empower others.

In 2010, I felt a push to start a business, and with that, Victorious By Design (VBD) was established to deliver top quality writing services, comprehensive personal and professional development programs, and exceptional performing arts services to meet the unique needs of individuals and organizations. As Founder and CEO of VBD, I use my extensive knowledge and experience in human resources, information technology, banking, and writing, to bring a well-rounded perspective when working with clients. Our clients are worldwide, and some have been featured in multiple media affiliates such as Huffington Post, Sheen Magazine, Forbes, Essence, Black Enterprise, Purpose Driven Women Magazine, VIP Global Magazine, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, FOX, just to name a few.
