Gary Vaynerchuk biography
Entrepreneurship speaker Gary Vaynerchuk — widely known as GaryVee — is one of the most influential voices in modern business, marketing, and digital culture. As Chairman of VaynerX, CEO of VaynerMedia, and CEO and creator of VeeFriends, he runs an interconnected portfolio of companies at the forefront of how brands build relevance in the attention economy. Speaker Gary Vaynerchuk combines decades of hands-on company building with a rare instinct for where consumer behavior is heading next.
Vaynerchuk’s entrepreneurial career began when he transformed his family’s wine business into one of the first successful e-commerce ventures in the alcohol industry, growing Wine Library into a nationally recognized brand. He then founded VaynerMedia, a full-service digital agency that now serves Fortune 1000 clients from offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Singapore, and more than a dozen other global hubs. VaynerMedia operates under the VaynerX holding company alongside Gallery Media Group, VaynerCommerce, VaynerSpeakers, and other ventures.

His entertainment venture VeeFriends has secured partnerships with Crocs, Fanatics, Mattel, Reebok, and Squishmallows, while VeeCon — his annual super conference — bridges business strategy with pop culture and emerging technology.
Vaynerchuk is also deeply involved in professional sports. He owns a Major League Pickleball team, holds a stake in a BIG3 basketball team, and runs VaynerSports, a sports agency representing top NFL athletes. A six-time New York Times bestselling author, his titles include Crush It!, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook, Twelve and a Half, and Day Trading Attention.
