Under his leadership, VidCon became the definitive gathering for fans, creators, platforms, and brands globally.

Today, Jim is the Editor and CEO of Inside the Creator Economy, a leading weekly LinkedIn newsletter read by over 32,000 creators, executives, and media strategists. He continues to set the agenda for the creator space, advising top platforms, startups, and Fortune 500 brands while programming industry-defining events from San Francisco and Las Vegas to Dubai, Singapore, and beyond.
