'''Harve Pierre''', also known by the stage name '''Joe Hooker''', is an American record executive. He is best known for his work with [[Sean Combs|Puff Daddy]]'s [[Bad Boy Records]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/xxl-magazine/2008/01/harve-pierre-appointed-president-of-bad-boy-records/ |title=Harve Pierre Appointed President of Bad Boy Records |date=January 29, 2008 |accessdate=March 26, 2014}}</ref>

Pierre was born in New York City to [[Haiti]]an parents.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/crossfade/2009/02/buggah_da_govannah_tells_you_w.php |title=Buggah Da Govannah Tells You Who's Haitian |accessdate=March 26, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.betstatic.com/music/photos/2011/01/photoshaitiancelebrities011211.photo11.slide.html#!fb-011111-Harve-Pierre |title=Haitian Celebrities |work=BET.com |accessdate=March 26, 2014}}</ref> He was the first staffer of Bad Boy Records upon its launch in 1993, and promptly left [[Uptown Records]] to join the label following Puff Daddy's departure. Serving as its A&R director, he oversaw many of the label's projects until his brief departure in 1995 in favor of an executive position at [[RCA Records]]. He returned to Bad Boy two years later, and was named the label's president by 2008 until leaving the post in 2017.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://rapindustry.com/harve-pierre/ | title=Harve Pierre Breaks down the Music Business. - | date=May 6, 2017 }}</ref>
