Bill Aho
CEO | VidAngel Entertainment
Bill Aho, known as the “Father of Filtering,” has transformed VidAngel through visionary leadership and employee empowerment. He championed the Family Movie Act of 2005, giving families control over media content.

Under his leadership since 2021, VidAngel has achieved double-digit revenue growth, quadrupled its subscriber base and expanded from 12 to 35 employees. The company has extended its platform across multiple devices and resolved long-standing legal issues, positioning itself for continued growth.

How do you define success for yourself and your company?
When my teammates tell me this is the best job they’ve ever had. Today at lunch, an employee told me he likes every person in our company. I love to see that our people have mutual respect for all functions and levels of the company. That’s success!
What major achievements has your company accomplished under your leadership?
Since our team took over VidAngel four years ago, we have more than tripled our subscriber base and our bonus distribution to our employees. Fun fact: Last year, we filtered 106,231,913 F-words for our subscribers.
