Vice President: Fabrice Tasendo
Heading up our Los Angeles office
Starting in the mid-90s as the co-founder of GayWired.com, branded as the "best garage startup" by the Wall Street Journal, Fabrice has built an impressive career trajectory within the LGBTQ+ digital landscape. He became Vice President of communities and E-Commerce at GSociety, the very first publicly traded LGBTQ+ company, where he demonstrated his knack for innovation and leadership. Transitioning further, Fabrice assumed the role of Senior Vice President of Digital Strategies at Here Media in 2006, solidifying his position in the forefront of LGBTQ+ media. By 2011, he had transitioned to the role of Executive Vice President at Pink Media, a frontrunner in LGBTQ+ social media marketing. Throughout his journey, Fabrice has remained not just a professional but also an activist, educator, and marketer, driven by his passion to positively impact social change.
