Mike Snow is a proud Howard University graduate with a degree in Finance, and a trailblazer at the intersection of finance, entertainment, and product innovation. His career began on Wall Street as an investment banker at JPMorgan, where he mastered the art of high-stakes financial deals.
Eager for new challenges, Mike transitioned to Los Angeles and joined powerhouse talent agency CAA, navigating the financial intricacies behind major deals for global icons such as Beyoncé, Cardi B, Will Smith, and George Clooney. He later brought his expertise to Paramount Global, shaping the financial strategies of BET and VH1 Networks and contributing to hit programming including The Ms. Pat Show and Tyler Perry’s acclaimed productions.
Beyond the boardrooms of Hollywood, Mike has advised production companies on projects like True to the Game, Dutch, and Angel. His influence extends further into consumer products, where he has helped develop innovations for beloved beauty and lifestyle brands—including products you’ll find on Sephora shelves.
Mike’s career has taken him around the world, from a 38-day immersion across Africa to ventures throughout Europe, each experience sharpening his global perspective. Today, he channels that knowledge and creativity into his entrepreneurial venture: Cologne Butter—a fusion of skincare and cologne he calls “performance cologne.”
What this really means is simple: smarter self-care, longer-lasting scent, and modern luxury that actually performs.
