Career

Goldberg left Emory University to work for the White House in the Cabinet Affairs office before pivoting to work for Erskine Bowles, President Clinton’s chief of staff.[4] He then left politics for technology, developing digital strategies for AOL Time Warner and T-Mobile.[4] In 2004, he founded Jobster, a job search engine that pivoted into a site to manage employee referrals.[5] The site was a rival to LinkedIn.[6] He sold the company in 2006.[7]

Goldberg launched Socialmedian in 2008, a social news aggregator, which he later sold to XING.[4][5]

In 2011, he launched Fabulis, a gay social network.[7]

Soon after, he pivoted the business to become a flash-sale furniture site and changed the name to Fab.[7] Its focus was to aggregate designer products into one online marketplace.[5]

Goldberg’s latest venture is a pivot on Fab. He is now the Founder and CEO of Hem, a furniture manufacturing company that doubles as an e-commerce site.[8]

Personal life

In August 2012, Goldberg married his boyfriend Christian Friedhelm Schoenherr in New York.[9]
