Mr. Chris Stang is a Co-Founder and serves as the Chief Executive Officer at The Infatuation. Since its inception in 2009, he has been the architect of The Infatuation's editorial voice, creative vision, and marketing strategy. Today his role still encompasses all of those things, but also includes pushing the company forward into new arenas, including the creation and launch of Text Rex, EEEEEATSCON, The Infatuation's food festival and the company's recent acquisition of Zagat. He was nominated for a James Beard Award in 2015 for Underfinger, a review of a restaurant that doesn't exist, and he still writes from time to time about real restaurants. Prior to taking on The Infatuation full time, he was the VP of Marketing at Atlantic Records, working closely with many of the label's biggest acts including Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Skrillex, Gnarls Barkley and Panic! At The Disco.
