In January 2018, we rebranded to FXCollaborative, a name that casts the creative spirit, as well as the legacy of the firm, to the forefront of our brand. As part of our ongoing evolution, and in line with our succession plan since 1996, the elevated Partners build on our history and identity as we head into the future.

Our colleagues join the firm's current leadership: Guy Geier, Managing Partner; Dan Kaplan, Senior Partner; Sylvia Smith, Senior Partner; Mark Strauss, Senior Partner; Heidi Blau, Partner; Nicholas Garrison, Partner; Tim Milam, Partner, Managing Director; and John Schuyler, Partner.
