Bio

Hi there! I'm Dominick Miserandino, and I'm proud to say that I'm a three-time internet CEO with a specialty in the online publishing space. In fact, I was even one of the pioneers in this field as I founded TheCelebrityCafe.com, one of the first online publications. Most recently, I served as the CEO of Inquisitr.com where I was able to lead a company-wide reorganization that not only increased profitability, but also took the site in new and exciting directions. I've also held leadership positions at Adorama Pix as CMO and Bigfoot Media as Director of Internet. I've had the privilege of working as a consultant for some big names in eCommerce and publishing, such as the Wall Street Journal, Morgan Stanley, Hearst Publications, Scout, NASA, Goldman Sachs, and more. Over the past 20 years, I've worked with more than 100 different web properties and consulted with top-tier digital publishers, e-commerce, and app-based businesses. On top of that, I've even authored two travel books! I'm also a past president of the Press Club of Long Island and enjoy sharing my knowledge by lecturing about web businesses and analytics at universities such as Hofstra University, Stony Brook, NYU, and other local colleges. In my free time, I love being creative as a musician and photographer. I'm also conversational in Italian, Spanish, French, and Sicilian, and have experience handling media in these languages. I'm proud to have received awards from organizations such as SPJ (Volunteer of the Month/Chapter of the Month), Stony Brook University for Charity Work, 40 Under 40, and a New York State Citation Award.
