Bryan Srabian – Vice President of Digital Media & Brand Development

“I have had the pleasure of working with Chad on two placements at different points and levels of responsibility in my career.  From the beginning of our relationship, when he was tasked with filling an open sales role for me, it was apparent that he possessed a unique combination of communication skills combined with a level of understanding of the inner workings of the industry that is unmatched.

Recently, instead of finding an employee to fill a position for me, he found me the position I currently have.  After getting to know one another over the years, he knew the role with NYCFC was a unique position that would provide additional opportunity that aligned with my core values and cultural views”.
