Michael Mothner

Founder & CEO
Michael Mothner is one of the pioneering thought leaders in the digital marketing community. In 2001, Michael founded Wpromote out of his dorm room at Dartmouth College. The company is now one of the fastest-growing and widely recognized online marketing firms in the country, and he has served as CEO since its inception. He is a columnist for Inc. Magazine and recipient of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Entrepreneurial Spirit Award, as well as a regular speaker at industry events. When he can (occasionally) be pried away from his laptop, Michael can be found screaming at the Lakers, eating epic sandwiches, and spending time with his family.
