Mike Carter

With 20+ years in sales leadership, marketing strategy, and brand development, I've scaled companies from startup to IPO. I was part of the founding team at Electric Visual, helped scale Skullcandy Audio to IPO, shaped the launch of ComplexCon as VP of Sales & Marketing for the Agenda Show, and most recently relaunched FUEL TV+ across 100+ countries and 700M+ devices through Engine RPM. Now I bring that same builder's mindset to workforce solutions — contract, direct hire, and project-based staffing designed around how high-growth companies actually scale.
