Andy Nulman

I am charmingly devious. And I will never be limited to one sentence.

SURPRISE!

PLEASE EXCUSE THIS BEING WRITTEN IN THE THIRD PERSON, BUT THIS IS THE BIO I SEND OUT FOR SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND THE LIKE. IT'S ALL TRUE, THOUGH...

While young in spirit and snappy in dress, Andy Nulman has been creating and leading major media projects for over three decades.

Andy used to be best known as the co-founder and CEO of the world-renowned Just For Laughs Festival, which he helped grow from a two-night affair to its current status as the top event of its kind on earth, launching talent like Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey and Dave Chappelle.

These days, he’s celebrated as a pioneer in the burgeoning mobile media space. In 1999, Andy co-founded Airborne Entertainment with Garner Bornstein, and last year sold 85% to Japan’s Cybird for $110 million. As Airborne’s President and CMO, Andy has been instrumental in bringing superbrands like Maxim, Family Guy and the NHL to the mobile world.

In his spare time, Andy is also an engaging speaker (motivating Fortune 500 companies the likes of GM, Eveready/Energizer and 3M), oft-published author, inventive stage director, half-decent snowboarder, hot-and-cold hockey goalie, and controversial pop artist.

Other accomplishments include being named one of Canada’s “Top 40 Under 40” business leaders by the Financial Post in 1997, voted one of the “Top 100 Montrealers of the 20th Century” by the Montreal Gazette in 2000, and honored as a distinguished recipient of the McGill Management Achievement Award in 2004.

His major disappointment is that he has only one life to live…but he’s working on a solution.
