Former Morgan Stanley CEO Hired By Gov. Cuomo

ALBANY, NY-John Mack has been tapped to run an effort aimed at making New York State more business friendly, along with another former Morgan Stanley executive.

ALBANY, NY-Indicating his commitment to bring in people from the private sector for the Start-Up NY program—rather than politicians—Governor Andrew Cuomo has hired former Morgan Stanley CEO and board chairman John Mack to spearhead the effort. The move comes just a day after another Morgan executive, Leslie Whatley, was hired as Start-Up’s EVP.

Mack, who will serve as senior advisor for the economic development initiative, will also carry the titles of economic development advisor to the state of New York and special advisor to the board of Empire State Development, which includes the Department of Economic Development and the Urban Development Corp. In his new roles, Mack will advise the governor and ESD on various economic development programs and issues to help grow New York’s economy and make the state a more appealing place for businesses.
