New York real estate investment firm McCourt Global has brought in agency vet Matthew Rose in the new post of managing director, communications.
McCourt, which sold the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012 and developed Boston's Seaport, is led by chairman and CEO Frank McCourt Jr.
In addition to 360 Tenth Avenue in New York and Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles, McCourt Global owns and is credited with revitalizing the Los Angeles Marathon.
Rose, a former executive VP for MWW and managing director of Ketchum's Emanate unit, heads corporate reputation, messaging, internal comms., media relations and philanthropy, among other areas for the firm.
McCourt, whose $131M divorce in 2011 fueled headlines for two years, donated $100M to Georgetown University in September to endow the McCourt School of Public Policy.
In a statement, McCourt said Rose will "elevate McCourt Global’s communications activities and add meaningful value to our business strategy."
