Andrew Steinthal

I'm the Co-Founder of modern restaurant discovery & experiences platform The Infatuation, which was acquired by JPMorganChase in late 2021. With The Infatuation successfully integrated and thriving at JPMC, I've brought my entrepreneurial energy and collaborative, dot connecting spirit to support the rest of The Firm as the Head of Talent Partnerships & Culture for JPMorganChase. I'm in the process of building out a new team to streamline, simplify and organize JPMC's approach to connecting with talent with the goal of establishing a center of excellence in talent, including athletes, celebrities, creators and influencers, as well as culture partnerships with a wide variety of brands and organizations that can help The Firm engage with consumers in new and authentic ways. My team works intimately with the Sports & Entertainment team, who handle all the team, league, tour and venue sponsorships for JPMC. The Talent Partnerships & Culture team provides strategic advisory services and actively participates in execution, collaborating closely with our sister sponsorships org, the Sports & Entertainment team, as well as brand, media and marketing teams across the firm. If we’re being real, I'm helping JPMC do cool sh*t that resonates in culture with consumers and aligns to The Firm’s brands and business priorities. Experience: A seasoned storyteller and partnerships strategist, Andrew co-founded The Infatuation, which became the trusted cultural voice in dining. Under his leadership, The Infatuation launched the next generation food festival, EEEEEATSCON, which now happens in four markets every year: NY, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago. The Infatuation (well, now JPMorganChase), also owns the Zagat brand, which The Infatuation acquired from Google in 2018. My career began in the music business, spending most of my early years at Warner Music Group, and ultimately Warner Bros Records in publicity, which is where The Infatuation (then known as Immaculate Infatuation) started out as a bootstrapped side hustle in 2009 before we (my biz partner Chris Stang also worked at Warner Music Group) left to go full time Infatuation in 2014. I'm a human of many passions including sports (Knicks, Yankees, Jets), sneakers, travel, chocolate chip cookies, ice cream and of course, going out to restaurants. I also likes to run. A lot. I'm a community builder who very much enjoys connecting like minded people with one another.
