Rudy Adjei

General Manager @ ODEON Cinemas
I am proud to be a coach and mentor to over 80 direct employees and manage not only one of Greater London’s busiest cinemas, but one of ODEON’s busiest cinemas. While running one of the busiest cinemas I have also been on a 4 year journey to gain a university degree, not only to support my continued development but to further my passion of leading, coaching and developing people. My love for business started my working life early, my interest for film has given me a long and successful career in cinema and now my passion for working with people will lead me into a new and exciting phase of my career.
