Mike Cascone

Forbes Travel Guide President and COO


Atlanta, Georgia, USA

I am the President and COO of Forbes Travel Guide and a native Atlantan, born and raised. While I’ve traveled extensively and lived in Washington D.C.; San Francisco; and Florence, Italy; I now reside in Atlanta with my family and consider it home. I know the city inside and out, with an expertise in the in-town communities, restaurants, nightlife, activities and hotels. Atlanta is unique — its charming character, hidden gems, pleasant discoveries and subtleties aren’t sometimes obvious and easily discoverable by a first-time visitor. I am passionate both about the city and travel and hospitality in general. I’ve been involved with Forbes Travel Guide (formerly Mobil Travel Guide) for more than seven years, and I couldn’t be more excited about Startle.com and the mission we’re embarking on worldwide with our star-rated properties.
