NEW YORK - s4story -- Vikki Jones, Founder and CEO of VMH Media, has been nominated for Founder of the Year in The Platinum Capital Awards 2026, an international awards program recognizing founders, executives and organizations for measurable leadership and business achievement.

The Founder of the Year category recognizes entrepreneurial leadership supported by tangible results, including company development, market expansion, innovation and business growth. Jones' nomination centers on the evolution of VMH from an independent publishing operation into a broader media ecosystem spanning publishing, business and technology journalism, sports media and intellectual property.

From Independent Publishing to a Global Media Ecosystem

Jones founded VMH Publishing and developed an independent publishing operation that has produced more than 200 books and magazines. That foundation subsequently expanded into an interconnected portfolio that includes VMH Magazine and VMH Sports.

Rather than building separate ventures around individual opportunities, Jones has developed infrastructure through which VMH can create, own and distribute journalism, publications and intellectual property across multiple sectors.

An International Expansion Across Asia

Jones' Founder of the Year nomination follows a concentrated period of international expansion.

Her work in Bangkok has included moderating at Money20/20 Asia and speaking at the Women's Leadership & Empowerment Conference. In Singapore, she subsequently served as Chairperson at BroadcastAsia 2026 and as a chair and moderator during The AI Summit Singapore.

The progression represents an expansion of Jones' role from independent publisher and media founder into international executive programming across financial technology, artificial intelligence, broadcasting, leadership and global business.

"It Reflects Years of Building"

"This nomination represents more than one moment in the growth of VMH," said Jones. "It reflects years of building independent infrastructure—first in publishing and then across media, sports and international markets. What began with the ability to create and publish intellectual property has evolved into a platform capable of participating in important conversations across industries and borders."
