“I congratulate my friend and predecessor, former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, on his new role as Vice President of Borough Promotion and Engagement for NYC & Company. There have been few who have connected with the spirit of this borough and this city like Marty. Now every neighborhood from the North Shore to the South Bronx, from East Elmhurst to the Upper West Side, will benefit from this energetic ambassador. Of course, I fully expect that his greatest contribution will be to his beloved borough of Brooklyn.
“Marty will add to the dynamism of NYC & Company, under the leadership of President and CEO Fred Dixon. Our offices have already begun a foundation for close collaboration. Borough Hall is keenly focused on growing the popularity of the Brooklyn brand, deepening our outreach to international audiences and promoting neighborhoods yet to be explored by the masses. I look forward to exciting announcements in the future on how we will further expand the Brooklyn tourism boom.”
