Michael Hartman chose a circuitous route to his current role as CEO of Amy’s Ice Creams. One
of the earliest Amy’s ‘scoops’ from 1985 to 1988 while a student at UT­Austin, he made good
use of his BFA in Acting in navigating the magical/maniacal world of Broadway and celebrity PR
in New York from 1993 to 2014. Hartman was Founder and CEO of Barlow­Hartman Public
Relations from 1999 to 2009 and then Founder and CEO of The Hartman Group from 2009 to
2014, with offices in the heart of Times Square. In those 23 years he represented over 200
Broadway shows, including Tony Award winners HAMILTON, FUN HOME, WICKED, WAR
HORSE, THE PRODUCERS, BILLY ELLIOT, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE and IN THE
HEIGHTS, and represented and worked with actors and producers such as Oprah Winfrey,
Hugh Jackman, Daniel Craig, Lin­Manuel Miranda, Kevin Spacey, Billy Crystal, Billy Joel, Elton
John, Sting, Daniel Radcliffe, John Lithgow and Dolly Parton.
Named Amy's CEO in 2014, he’s thrilled to protect and promote Amy’s entrepreneurial mission,
unique company culture, customer service and the world’s best ice cream.
