I help media companies, brands, and startups grow.

20+ years building — from New York Times reporter to founder, entrepreneur, and media executive

Hello! I am Stephen Regenold, a media and business executive who helps publishers, startups, and brands grow audiences, revenue, and new ventures.

I began as a reporter for The New York Times, founded and scaled GearJunkie, and later served as EVP at AllGear Digital, where we raised $40 million to build a portfolio of media brands.

Today, I advise companies including 57hours, HLRBO, Prep Network, the Minnesota Star Tribune, and AllGear Digital on revenue, content strategy, audience growth, video, social, SEO, AEO, AI, and technology. I bring operator experience, not consulting theory. If your company needs to grow faster or operate better, let’s talk.
