About — Andrew Gauthier

I am at my happiest when I’m working with a team to do something that’s never quite been done before.

A decade ago, I made it my goal to become the best at digital video, and that pursuit led me to seven years at BuzzFeed and two years overseeing video strategy for 2020 presidential campaigns.

Here’s a quick rundown of my background…

I grew up in Minnesota, and loved competing in science fairs as a kid.

I started my career in TV, working on documentary shows for A&E and MTV.

In 2012, wanting to become an expert at digital media, I
joined BuzzFeed.

As Head of BuzzFeed Video, I was obsessed with producing content that viewers wanted to share.

And I learned how to effectively use video to grow new channels and brands.

Interested in broadening the social impact I could have,
I got into politics for the 2020 election.

I served as Director of Video for the Kamala Harris presidential campaign.

After the Kamala campaign, I did some work for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

I joined the Biden campaign in 2020, and built a video program that garnered over a billion views.

I’m proud of the talented teams I’ve been able to assemble
and manage.

I remain fascinated by digital media’s ability to inspire and connect.
