Marco Greenberg,
President

Marco Greenberg is the president of Thunder11. Up until last year, Marco served as a managing director at the global public affairs firm, Burson-Marsteller, playing a leading role with several Fortune 500 clients from Comcast to Clorox.

After getting his start in the agency world at both Burson and then BBDO’s Israel office, Marco started and ran his own businesses, NYPR and Reel Biography, both of which gained a reputation for their innovative work.  NYPR was one of the nation’s fastest growing PR firms in the first Internet boom, and Reel Biography is an award winning Web video production house that has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Best of New York in New York Magazine.

Marco sees his role as a “creative catalyst for breakthrough communications”, and has applied that philosophy to his work — from foreign governments to NGOs — but especially in launching and re-charging numerous start-ups backed by venture capital firms such as Battery Ventures, Jerusalem Venture Partners, Sigma Partners etc.  He has worked closely with CEOs and CMOs who have achieved notable “exits,” starting with his role in the genesis of Akamai Technologies.

He graduated with a BA in history and political science from UCLA with honors and received a MA from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.  In addition, Marco is a blogger and frequent contributor to the Israeli newspaper, Ha’aretz, and other publications; a member of the advisory board for MIT professor and author Alan Lightman’s Harpswell Foundation, dedicated to empowering a new generation of women leaders in Cambodia; regularly lectures on communications, marketing and entrepreneurship, including as an adjunct professor at Fordham’s graduate school of business in ‘07, and this Fall is launching “How Do You Get It Out There,” an in person networking event and panel discussion that is designed to connect some of the most talented people in  marketing and media.   He lives in NYC with his wife and three children.
