Founder and CEO, Glam Media

Samir Arora helped found Glam Media as a better way for premium brand advertisers to connect with audiences on the Web. Under his leadership, Glam Media has grown from a tiny startup in 2005 with a reach of 100,000 monthly unique visitors, a network of 12 publishers and its owned and operated site Glam.com, to become the #1 web property for women online and #8 in the Top 10 US Web Properties in the US, with nearly 90 million unique visitors a month and a network of 2,000+ publishers. A technology industry veteran, Arora is a serial entrepreneur who was at Apple Computer in its early years and was CEO of NetObjects, where he drove the creation of the first website-building product, NetObjects Fusion that was used to create over 50 million web sites. Arora also currently serves as chairman of Information Capital LLC, a venture-capital fund based in Woodside, CA, that invests in leading-edge “big idea companies” in consumer publishing, media, and technology.
