Dominick Miserandino
Chief Executive Officer at Retail Tech Media Nexus, I specialize in driving measurable value for companies in publishing, advertising, and technology. With extensive C-level experience, I’ve turned around over 100 eCommerce and digital businesses and advised 200+ startups on operations. My expertise spans managing advertising, tech, editorial, marketing, and operations teams, enabling me to unlock new revenue streams, launch products, optimize efficiencies, and scale businesses with proven strategies.

Recognized as an internet pioneer and publishing expert, I’ve been sought after by media giants like The Wall Street Journal, Goldman Sachs, NASA, and others for insights on industry trends. Key achievements include founding one of the first online publications in 1995, leading companies to exits and profitability, advising dozens of publishers weekly, and receiving the Long Island Business News 40-Under-40 Award. I also started the first scholarship for learning-disabled journalists.

As the creator of TheCelebrityCafe.com—one of the web’s longest-running entertainment news sites—I grew it into a multi-million-dollar business before selling it. I’m also an author and speaker at institutions like NYU and Hofstra.

All things B2B media are in my blood, from content through events, audience, marketing and sales. That background includes a 10-year stint as an owner of three iconic Canadian forestry magazines while still in my twenties.The past 20+ years have brought increasingly senior roles at Annex Business Media as part of the leadership team taking the company from under 20 magazines to almost 60 omni-channel media brands.

Leading the company for the past six years, the focus has been on building a world-class executive and leadership team, ensuring its people have access to industry-leading technology and expertise, creating a world-class working environment where all feel respected, appreciated, and challenged, and transitioning to the next generation of ownership via a unique Employee-Management Partnership. Lately mentoring and succession planning have been larger focuses.

I enjoy finishing on Friday's at 1:30 and prefer my engines on two wheels, water in tall salty stacks, and all forms of dogs to just about anything else (duh).
