His prior account service experience has afforded him a thoughtful approach to all things client finance and account operations. Eric joined MRY after several years at the NBA, where his passion for sports was exceeded only by his enthusiasm to over-deliver for league partners. His jump shot may need some work, but when it comes to MRY’s integrated offering, Eric has simply done it all with tremendous success.

Dan not only has a passion for business, he has a passion for building businesses. He has overseen and bolstered the financials and operations of start-ups and international advertising/pr/marketing agencies alike. In fact, shortly after joining MRY, Dan helped incubate and spin-off our tech startup, Crowdtap. While there are no Effies or Lions for actually running a business, Dan has had the distinction and pleasure of chairing the 4A’s National Finance Committee. And it's in no small part due to his efforts and passion that MRY consistently wins "Best Place to Work" awards. AdAge ranks us a proud #2 in the industry as a whole, and #1 in New York City.
