ORLANDO (June 30, 2021) – Vic Cao, an experienced web expert known for his vision, creative design and in-depth knowledge of analytics, was just named senior web developer at Growing Bolder, one of the world’s leading voices for 50+ adults.
Prior to coming to Growing Bolder, Cao developed an enviable reputation with clients across Florida, including some of the most prestigious agencies, such as &Barr in Orlando.
After earning his bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Central Florida and his MBA in marketing at Rollins College’s renowned Crummer School of Business, Cao built an impressive portfolio and resume. From managing and implementing a 200-store online ordering system for Hungry Howie’s Florida franchises; to leading all creation design, development and deliverables in print, tradeshow displays and interactive for clients; to rebranding of a company that led to his being named Employee of the Year, Cao has proven to be a rising star.

I look forward to being a part of an organization that promotes values I can be aligned with.”
