Jovy Janolo (born March 26, 1971 in Manila, Philippines) is a Philippine-American event producer and philanthropist who currently resides in Los Angeles, California. Jovy is known for producing fashion shows and event mixers for local charities such as St. Jude Children Hospital, SPCLA, Amanda Foundation, Reality Cares, GLAAD, and many others.

Born to the prominent family of Jose Janolo (former Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources in Manila) and Rebecca Romualdez Janolo (niece of the former first lady of the Philippines, Imelda Romualdez Marcos), Jovy spent much of his younger years growing up in a political household where his mother would throw parties for Philippine and foreign dignitaries on a regular basis which developed his interest in event hosting and planning.

Janolo began with a marketing career at American Express Company, working primarily at CCSG (Consumer Card Services Group), with much of his work focused on direct marketing and special events. In 2007, he began working as an independent consultant for various start-ups, small to medium sized companies, and even charity organizations. In 2010, he launched an exclusive social networking site for people in the fashion and entertainment industry, called My Fashion Place™. In 2011, he joined the marketing team of eBridge Advertising - a market-leading Internet advertising firm recognized by such prestigious organizations as the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 , Inc. Magazine 5000, and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for outstanding growth and leadership.
