DAN LAFONTAINE
CFO & COO
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.
