Mike Germano

Mike Germano is the Chief Digital Officer of VICE Media and has been challenging the conventions of traditional advertising for more than a decade. It all began when he utilized a guerrilla social media campaign to become one of the youngest elected officials in the country. Not long after, he co-founded Carrot Creative, an award winning digital agency that boasts an impressive lineup of clients that includes Rolex, Chipotle, Unilever, Ferrari, Disney, & Budweiser

Since VICE’s acquisition of Carrot in 2013, Mike has been leading the commercialization of all VICE digital properties as Chief Digital Officer, as well as continuing to serve as Carrot’s CEO. His industrial expertise and electric presentation style have made him a globally sought-after speaker on a range of topics: he has given keynotes around the world from CES to the NFL.
