Shane Smith

Shane Smith is one of the co-founders of Vice magazine and the president of Vice's media empire. Over the past 15 years, Shane helped usher Vice from a 16-page Montreal punk zine into the world's first global youth-culture monthly, with editions in over 20 different countries. In 2007 he oversaw the launch of VBS, and has been helping sound the death knell for conventional broadcast media ever since. Shane enjoys cold white wine and long, bubbly baths—preferably in tandem.
